Introduction : The presence of visual restrictions in childhood leads to deviations and difficulties in sensorimotor skills. Objectives : To verify the responses of sen - sorimotor training in the balance and coordination of children with visual im - pairment. Methods : This is an uncontrolled, transverse cases report. The sample consisted of two school-age children, with an ophthalmologic diagnosis of low vision and total blindness. The Berg Balance Test and the Body Coordination Test for Children - KTK Test Battery were applied before and after 10 visits, average duration of 50 minutes, twice a week. Results : Child 1 showed improvement of approximately 11% for coordination and 13% for balance; and for Child 2 there was an increase of 17% in coordination, and 6% for balance. Conclusion : The protocol used brought benefits to the balance and motor response of these visu - ally impaired children.Downloads
