Austin Assessment Work is a screening tool designed to identify potential cerebral visual impairment (CVI) in children through a card-matching game. It helps professionals determine if further medical assessment is needed.
This application is intended for use by teachers, therapists, researchers, and clinicians. Parents or caregivers looking to screen their child should use the separate 'Austin Assessment' app.
The app has been validated for children aged 5 to 8 years, 9 to 12 years, and 13 to 18 years. Validation for adults and younger children is currently in progress.
No, Austin Assessment Work is a screening tool and cannot diagnose CVI. It identifies the possibility of CVI, but a diagnosis must be confirmed by a medical professional.
Results from screenings can be emailed or printed. Additionally, users can log in to the online dashboard to view and search data, and download it in .csv format for statistical analysis.
The app securely stores screening data, adhering to health and medical data storage privacy laws. Anonymized data may be used for app improvement and CVI research.
No, Austin Assessment Work does not contain advertisements. It is a free application designed for professional use.
To complete a screening, a child must be able to understand the game's goal, recognize individual cards, and use their finger to drag cards. Children with certain cognitive, visual, or motor difficulties may not be able to complete the assessment.
