SEPTO-OPTIC DYSPLASIA: EDUCATIONAL ISSUES Septa-Optic Dysplasia (SOD): Educational Issues in Literature for Teachers and Parents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ninety-nine articles published in professional journals related to septa-optic dysplasia (SOD) or the education of young blind children were reviewed by a special education teacher and parent of a blind one year old boy diagnosed with the SOD. The articles were classified by publication type (e.g., research studies, descriptive articles, guides, position papers, reviews of literature). Fifty-three of the 99 articles were research studies; these 53 research studies were classified by research design (i.e., quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods); the participants and data sources of each study were identified; and the findings of each study were summarized. All 99 articles were then analyzed using a modified version of the Stevick-Callaizi-Keen method to draw out the essential themes of this body of literature. The 11 themes that emerged from this analysis included: (a) septa-optic dysplasia and optic nerve hypoplasia; (b) parenting and early intervention; (c) cognitive development; (d) language development; (e) orientation and mobility; (f) social behavior; (g) assistive technology; (h) educational placement; (i) emergent literacy; Q) Braille literacy; and (k) assessment. These themes were then considered from the author's roles of parent and teacher. 3 SEPTO-OPTIC DYSPLASIA: EDUCATIONAL ISSUES

متن کاملSepto-Optic Dysplasia in a Newborn Presenting with Bilateral Dilated and Fixed Pupils.
Introduction We describe a newborn female infant with septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) presenting with bilateral dilated and fixed pupils. Conclusion Our report is unique because the incidental finding of bilateral dilated and fixed pupils on the newborn exam was the only clinical finding which led to a prompt work-up and eventual diagnosis of SOD.

Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is a highly heterogeneous condition comprising a variable phenotype of optic nerve hypoplasia, midline brain abnormalities and pituitary hypoplasia with consequent endocrine deficits. The majority of cases are sporadic and several aetiologies have been suggested to account for the pathogenesis of the condition. However, a number of familial cases have been described ...

Unilateral Closed Lip Schizencephaly with Septo-Optic Dysplasia
Schizencephaly is a rare malformation of the central nervous system. Both genetic and non-genetic etiologies like prenatal infections or ischemia have been postulated. Clinical manifestations most often include varying degrees of developmental delay, motor impairment and seizures. It can be associated with septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), optic nerve hypoplasia and absence of septum pellucidum, pac...
