Verbal Prompts

The effectiveness of two treatment strategies—verbal prompts and a physical prompt—on the the independent drinking skills of a 17-year-old girl with cortical visual impairment was investigated using a single-subject alternating treatments design in two settings. Ten natural drinking opportunities were observed in 43 sessions in the student's school and home. It was found that the physical prompt was highly effective in promoting the target behavior, whereas verbal prompts were less effective. Independent drinking behaviors appeared to have been maintained in both settings.

Cortical Visual Impairment

There is a radical difference between the visual habilitation of children with cortical visual impairment (CVI) and those with ocular visual loss. This article presents the experiences of a developmental psychologist, a child neurologist, and a teacher of the visually impaired who worked with CVI children for a number of years.
