Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2014, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
Children suffering from ACC, in the course of their development and growth, do not enjoy the same developmental chances as the healthy ones. Therefore the rehabilitation cannot be a series of accidental actions spreading over time, but should be given in comprehensive rehabilitation program. The aim of the study was to develop our tri-stage multidimensional and multidirectional rehabilitation program for a child suffering from ACC and evaluate this program in the clinical practice. We will present a six-year long period of observation of the development of a child suffering from ACC treated with the use of our tri-stage multidimensional and multidirectional rehabilitation program. We will present the separate steps of rehabilitation procedure adapted to the needs of the child suffering from ACC. The multidimensional and multidirectional rehabilitation program developed for a child suffering from agenesis of the corpus callosum was seemed to be effective.
