Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of the structured program incorporating contextual, behavioral, and cognitive strategies to improve compliance of children and adolescents with special needs during examinations in specialized or general ophthalmic settings.

The main question it aims to answer is:

"Does this structured program increase ophthalmic examination compliance in children and adolescents with special needs?"

Participants will:

1. Attend six individualized training sessions (one session every two weeks, each lasting one hour)
2. Engage in activities to practice and enhance cooperation during ophthalmic examination
3. Undergo pre- and post-program assessments to measure visal function, behavioral adaptation, and other intervention outcomes.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

visual rehabilitation for ophthalmic compliance

contextual, behavioral, and cognitive-based program for ophthalmic compliance

BEHAVIORAL

Using contextual, behavioral, and cognitive-based stragegies to develop training programs

Key Features of the Intervention: 1. Contextual Adaptation: Participants practice ophthalmic examination procedures in a simulated clinical environment to familiarize themselves with real-world conditions. 2. Behavioral Strategies: Positive reinforcement, such as rewards (snacks, toys, or videos), is used to encourage participation and cooperation during sessions. 3. Cognitive Support: Animated materials and interactive exercises are employed to teach the concepts required for visual tests, with take-home tasks for generalization. 4. Individualized Goals: Individualized training plans and objectives are established collaboratively with caregivers based on participants' cognitive and behavioral profiles. Duration and Frequency: Six sessions, each lasting one hour, are conducted biweekly, with flexibility based on caregiver availability.
