Assessment tools for evaluating neuropsychomotor development in children with visual impairment: an integrative review

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study, an integrative literature review, aims to find tools used in Brazil to evaluate the neuropsychomotor development of children with visual impairment. The search for articles was carried out in the Virtual Health Library, PubMed®, Scientific Electronic Library Online databases. 1552 articles were found, and after analysis, 4 studies were selected for this work. No instrument was intended to assess neuropsychomotor development as a whole for this audience. There is a need to consider other aspects of neuropsychomotor development in assessments so that this piece of information can be added to the assessment of functional vision and allow more assertive interventions, also considering multiple disabilities and cerebral visual impairment.
