This is another under-recognised concept in most parts of the world. This is the visual stimulation of children with cortical visual impairment (CVI) with the use of gentle & stimulating slow moving, contrasting and contrast enhanced light and other equipments like optical fibers, specially designed computer simulation and use of 3D hologram projectors (first in India, in the private sector). Though this concept is now slowly catching up, we at Parijma have been doing this for the last 10 – 12 years, & are constantly coming up with newer ideas & tools.

A lot of children with neurological disorders, brain injury at or just after birth  (especially due to hypoglycemia or low sugar just after birth) end up having isolated cortical visual impairment (CVI) or CVI with developmental delay. In most cases, this can be improved (usually partially only) only if recognized early. That is why, visual stimulation at a good neuro-rehabilitation center is key.
