The relationship between neuro-visual disorders and arithmetic skills in the children with cerebral palsy

Abstract

The neuro-visual disorders are among the common disorders that we find in children with cerebral palsy, along with other disorders, those disorders lead to not processing visual information correctly, and this inevitably leads to difficulties at the level of visual perception, thus we find many children with cerebral palsy suffer especially from difficulties in learning and acquiring arithmetic skills.

 Therefore, this current study aims to identify the relationship between neuro-visual disorders and arithmetic skills in the children with cerebral palsy. In order to successfully achieve this mission, we have chosen a purposive sample of eight subjects with cerebral palsy, between the age of ten and twelve years old, using a descriptive correlational study, which considered to be the most suitable for this use case.

In our study, we relied on a FROSTIG test and ZAREKI-R-A test battery. The former is a developmental test of visual perception, and the latter is a numeracy assessment for children. After putting in application the tests, we came to these verified partially hypothesis: there is a relationship between Neuro-Visual disorders and decoding abilities. It has also been confirmed that there is a relationship between Neuro-Visual disorders and quantitative estimation in children with cerebral palsy.

Therefore, we came to a general hypothesis indicates that there is a relationship
