ABSTRACT

Objective: To examine the effects of the eccentric viewing training software on reading and Activities of Daily Living(ADL) for individuals with central scotomas in Korea. Methods: A single-subject A-B-A research design for two low-vision individuals with central scotomas was used to examine the effects. The research was conducted over 14 sessions, which included three sessions during a pre-training baseline period (A), eight sessions during an intervention period to apply eccentric viewing training software on Korean character stimulation (B), and three sessions in a post-training baseline period (A). To measure reading and ADL, participants were assessed for their reading speed, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure(COPM), and Assessment of Motor and Process Skills(AMPS). Results: An Analysis of the data showed that the participants’ reading speed increased compared to their pre-training baseline scores, showing the highest level of increase in the first two to three sessions of training. The participants improved their performance in the reading-related activities, although a comparison of their overall ADL function pre-training and post-training showed no change. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the eccentric viewing training based on specific language characters, Korean, is an effective intervention method for improvement in the reading skills of individuals with central scotomas.
