contextual, behavioral, and cognitive-based program for ophthalmic compliance

"Key Features of the Intervention:~1.

Behavioral Strategies: Positive reinforcement, such as rewards (snacks, toys, or videos), is used to encourage participation and cooperation during sessions.~3. Cognitive Support: Animated materials and interactive exercises are employed to teach the concepts required for visual tests, with take-home tasks for generalization.~4. Individualized Goals: Individualized training plans and objectives are established collaboratively with caregivers based on participants' cognitive and behavioral profiles.~Duration and Frequency:~Six sessions, each lasting one hour, are conducted biweekly, with flexibility based on caregiver availability."
