Vision-MDT
Vision as an Integrative Hub for Neuro-Visual Care & Rehabilitation
A Neuro-Visual Integrated Multidisciplinary Framework
The Vision-MDT model conceptualizes neuro-visual function as an integrative hub linking clinical phenotypes, functional systems, and underlying neural mechanisms in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
The vertical axis represents a hierarchical structure from observable clinical manifestations (phenotype), to functional impairments (e.g., visual processing, attention, multisensory integration), and further to neural network mechanisms.
Multidisciplinary interventions—including ophthalmology, rehabilitation, psychology, education, and audiology—are organized around the functional level, enabling coordinated assessment and intervention.
This framework emphasizes that visual function is not merely a sensory input, but a central component in cognitive and developmental processes, providing a potential entry point for multidisciplinary collaboration.
