Assisted Evaluation of the Visual Function Evolution Degree in Serious Games Training for Special Needs Preschool Children

The paper presents a research for developing of an attractive and efficient method for screening activities concerning visual function rehabilitation, including the hand - eye coordination, for preschool children. It focuses on a software interface developing aimed to help the examiner: quantifying rapid and proper to what extent each evaluated child is falling or not in one of the disabilities situations and quantify the handicap rehabilitation degree, due to some specific training activities (correction of amblyopia, squint, myopia, dyschromatopsia, coordination hand - eye etc.). Another aspect refers to the evaluation and stimulation and training of the concentration of attention. All of these actually can be accomplished due to specific tests, via a previously created device. The main role of the software is to provide in a very short time all necessary information for making a decision concerning the measures to be taken. The application allows data saving into EXCEL files, with the possibility to compare it subsequently. In this way it will be possible to evaluate in time the tests results, so that the visual function, the memory the hand - eye coordination evolution. Proof of this is that in the autumn of 2017, many school and preschool children have consistently shown their interest in such tests on the existing device. This is due to the fact that such of activities are considered by children as a game which stimulates them in personality development, in self-affirmation. In the present the evaluation and rehabilitation method proposed in the research is in testing stage.
