Evaluating the Visual-Perceptual Skills of Children with Cerebral Palsy
AJOT, 41 (10):
646--651 (1987)Abstract
The Test of Visual-Perceptual Skills (TVPS) was used to determine if children with cerebral palsy demonstrated problems in visual perception on a motor-free visual perception test. 24 children with CP & 24 normal children, all of normal intelligence, were given the TVPS. Results showed that children with CP attained significantly lower mean perceptual quotients than did the normal children. The TVPS appears to be a useful tool for the OT in evaluating visual perception in children with cerebral palsy.
