The great majority of Cerebral Palsied Children are multiply handcapped; that is, their physical handicaps are accompanied by psychological disorders. The study of visual perception Concentrates on the question of why something looks as it does and why it does not look the same to everyone.
Five Components of visual perception are identified by Frostig. These Components include visual-motor coordination, Figure ground perception, pcerption of form constancy, Perception of position in space, and Perception of spatial relationships.
The purpose of this study is to explore the developmental Characteristics of the visual Perception in the cerebral palsied child and to discover the effects of visual perceptual training of the Cerebral palsied child.
The subjects of the experimental study Consisted of the total number 130 normal (73boys and 57girls), and the total number 81 cerebral palsied children (53boys and 28girls). The normal attend the Daegu EIementary School, the Cerebral Palsied Child attend the Daegu Bogeon school and the Daegu Seongbo School. They are in the 1st to 6th grades at these Schools. The CA mean of the normal was 90(range 6.5∼11.6), and IQ mean was 108.2 (range 95∼128). The CA mean of the Cerebral palsied Child was 10.3 (range 7.9∼12.9) and IQ mean was 90.0 (range 78∼110).
As the Conclusion. the main findings were as follow;
1. The visual perceptual ability of the cerebral palsied Child are greatly inferior to those of normal at all the areas of the DTVP.
