Purpose:
To assess the neuropsychomotor and visual development of visually impaired children.
Methods:
Fourty-five children of both genders were evaluated in a 6-months period. The children were distributed into two study groups: experimental and control. The neuropsychomotor development and visual efficiency were evaluated in the two groups.
Results:
In the control group, 86.66% of the sample was inappropriate on the coordination behavior, however, all aspects were considered inadequate. The differences among the groups were significant, since p values<0.05 were evidenced in the visual efficiency behavior as well as in the neuropsychomotor development.
Conclusion:
It was observed in the studied sample that the visually impaired were characterized by a global delay in the neuropsychomotor development, mostly in the coordination behavior.
