A University study on iPads has shown a promising lead in the treatment of children living with cortical visual impairment, a disorder that severely affects the interpretation of visual information.
Researchers at KU’s Life Span Institute have recorded high responsiveness in children living with CVI when using the Apple iPad.
Muriel Saunders, an assistant research professor at the Life Span Institute, said in a press release that the researchers tested 15 children and were shocked by the results.
“Every single child was enthralled with the iPad. Children that typically didn’t look at people, didn’t respond with objects or responded in a very repetitious fashion, were absolutely glued to the iPad. It was an amazing experience,” she said.
