Abstract

Purpose: This study was aimed at investigating the effectiveness of a teleoccupational therapy intervention program in improving developmental and play skills in children diagnosed with cortical visual impairment (CVI). The intervention was structured based on the person-environment-occupation (PEO) model.

Materials and methods: A quasiexperimental, pretest-posttest study design was employed with eight children aged 4-6 diagnosed with CVI. The intervention consisted of 12 weekly online occupational therapy sessions, focused on visual perception, motor skills, and environmental adaptation strategies. Outcome measures included the Ankara Developmental Screening Inventory (ADSI) and the Revised Knox Preschool Play Scale (RKPPS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

Results: Significant improvements were observed in motor accuracy, visual attention, and sensory processing after the intervention (p < 0.05). Parental reports indicated increased engagement in purposeful play and daily routines. No adverse effects were reported.

Conclusion: The findings support the feasibility and effectiveness of teleoccupational therapy based on the PEO model in enhancing developmental and play skills in children with CVI. The approach offers a viable alternative when in-person services are limited.

通过远距作业治疗促进皮质性视觉障碍儿童的发育：一项准实验研究。

目的：本研究旨在探讨远距作业治疗干预方案在改善皮质性视力障碍（CVI）儿童发育和游戏技能方面的效果。干预是基于人-环境-职业（PEO）模型构建的。材料与方法：采用准实验、前测后测的研究设计，对8名4-6岁诊断为CVI的儿童进行研究。干预包括每周12次的在线职业治疗课程，重点是视觉感知、运动技能和环境适应策略。结果测量包括安卡拉发育筛查量表（ADSI）和修订的诺克斯学前游戏量表（RKPPS）。数据分析采用Wilcoxon符号秩检验。结果：干预后运动精度、视觉注意、感觉加工均有显著改善（p < 0.05）。家长报告显示，孩子在有目的的玩耍和日常生活中的参与度有所提高。无不良反应报告。结论：本研究结果支持基于PEO模型的远距作业治疗在提高CVI儿童发展和游戏技能方面的可行性和有效性。当面对面的服务有限时，这种方法提供了一个可行的选择。
