  Research projects

  The specificity of visual perception in children with visual impairment of ophthalmic and cerebral etiology (2018). The aim of the project was to learn about the possibilities and limitations of visual perception in young schoolchildren with visual impairment caused by ophthalmic diseases and in children with brain dysfunction.

  Pilot concept development and verification of the research tool - screening tests (developmental scrining) for young children aged 6 to 32 months (2016-2017). The aim of the project was to develop a concept, create and verify research tools aimed at monitoring the development of young children in a transdisciplinary aspect.

  Profile of the functioning of children with cerebral visual impairment (2014-2015). The aim of the project was to learn the characteristics of the visual functioning of young children with cerebral visual impairment, i.e. specific features of visual functioning in terms of receptive abilities, oculomotor functions, visual-motor activities and visual-perceptual skills.
