The benefits of early intervention for children with eye conditions like Strabismus and Amblyopia are vast, however, there are very few tools and games available to caregivers and vision therapists to serve this population. Our capstone team created a toolkit for children aged 2-10 to solve for this issue. The toolkit includes a diverse range of interactive vision therapy games that target specific visual skills and promote the integration of vision and information processing in the brain. Additionally, it features an interactive progress tracker that visually represents the child's journey and provides motivation and recognition of developmental milestones throughout the therapy process.
