[AERNet] Optic Nerve Hypoplasia

[Sally Holloman]

Any suggestions on working with a 3 year old with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia
(left eye) who has a seizure disorder, is fed with a G-tube, dependent
on a wheelchair for mobility and is nonverbal?  I see her once a month
for 20 minutes for the ONH and Nystagmus.  The preschool teacher is
using a light box with her.  We are brainstorming ideas about how to
have her make choices.  It may be eye gaze, not sure yet.  What about
patching to help with the muscles of the eye and to help her gain a
little control over it?  Your expert opinions are appreciated.
