To find the effect of occupational therapy intervention program using cognitive-perceptual and perceptual-motor activities on visual perceptual skills in children with cerebral palsy.
30 children were selected who were diagnosed as cerebral palsy. All children were administered MOTOR FREE VISUAL PERCEPTION TEST, they underwent occupational therapy intervention program using cognitive-perceptual and perceptual-motor activities 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Posttest evaluation was done after 6 weeks following the therapy program.
There is statistically significant (p value<0.05) difference between pre and post interventions for raw score and perceptual age.
Occupational Therapy intervention emphasizing on cognitive-perceptual and perceptual motor training is effective for improving visual perceptual abilities in Cerebral Palsy children.
