Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) is a major visual dysfunction in children due to the destruction of the areas of the brain involved in visual processing and not the eye (Dutton & Bax, 2010; Sakki et al., 2018). This study investigates the outcomes of CVI on daily life, especially concerning the sphere of self-care, mobility, and education (Roman-Lantzy, 2018). A quantitative research method is used in the study to test children between the ages of 3 and 6 and their caregivers. The aim of the study is to determine the correlation between CVI and functional restrictions, which will contribute to the multidisciplinary rehabilitation process research through empirical results. It is predicted that the results are going to prove that CVI has a significant impact on restricting independence and daily activities (Dutton, 2013).
