What do we do?
We are well known for our comprehensive eye and vision care services provided to the pediatric population. We have now expanded further to a unique initiative that we proudly refer to as the “Special Children Clinic”. This clinic provides the much needed special attention and functional vision assessment for children with special needs like cerebral palsy, cortical visual impairment, Autistic spectrum, Attention deficit, ADHD, multiple disabilities and vision impairment, and delayed milestones. We have been doing this to a certain extent so far in the OPD itself and now have felt the need to consolidate this under the “Special Children Clinic". This clinic will pave ways to come out with defined protocols for assessment and management of this population.
Scope of the clinic
Our team has adopted a comprehensive protocol to understanding the functional vision needs of the special population. Through this, we are able to provide recommendations about best practices for assessment and early intervention methods for children with multiple disabilities, delayed development, and vision impairment. It is important to identify children with vision impairment as early as possible so that appropriate assessment and intervention can be initiated. The clinic is also involved in optimizing protocols for assessment and intervention in liaison with the multidisciplinary team.
