Comparison of eating behaviors and mothers' eating attitudes based on visual function levels in children with cerebral visual impairment

In the study in which eating behaviors of children diagnosed with CP and CVI and eating attitudes of mothers were evaluated according to VFCS levels, it was determined that children at level 4 and their mothers exhibited a more negative picture compared to level 3, and children at level 3 and their mothers exhibited a more negative picture compared to level 2. Worsening vision was found to be a factor that negatively affected the eating behaviors of children with CP and CVI and the mothers' attitudes towards eating. The eating behaviors of children with CP and CVI and the eating attitudes of mothers should be included in routine assessments and intervention approaches that include mothers in this process should be planned.
