Sažetak
Research subject: Children with prenatal brain damage often have difficulties in visual functioning caused by damage of posterior visual pathway. Knowing the sensitive periods and the possibility of visual function recovery during the first years of life, we carried out the visual stimulation program with 90 children with prenatal brain damage. Goal and method of visual stimulation were designed according to the results of functional vision assessment for each child. Method: Te aim of this study was to analyze the methods of visual stimulation for habilitation of visual functions in children with prenatal brain damage. Te methods we used for one year were described through four categories ; regarding the stimulus we used (bright lights, materials under the UV light, specially designed visual targets and everyday materials). We used descriptive statistics to describe the prevalence of visual stimulation methods we used. Further, we analyzed the correlation (Spearman’s rank correlation) of the method we used with the diagnosis of the brain damage, age and prematurity. Result: Results have shown that most of children were stimulated with objects from everyday activities used to improve specific visual functions and that method of visual stimulation correlate significantly to the diagnosis of prenatal brain damage (p=0.001). Conclusion: On the base of the obtained findings, we can conclude that the most common stimuli we used were materials from everyday activities, and that visual stimulation method depends on diagnosis of prenatal brain damage.
