Summary/Abstract: The Preverbal Visual Assessment (PreViAs) questionnaire is designed to assess visual functions both in the general pediatric population and in children at high risk for visual cognitive abilities, through parent responses. The aim of the research is to evaluate visual attention (VA), visual communication (VC), visual-motor coordination (VMC), and visual processing (VP) in age subgroups ranging from 0 to 24 months. These subgroups, which were examined, fall under visual cognitive integrative functions, and to assess them, it is necessary to evaluate the child's behavior, which requires an experienced evaluator. The PreViAs questionnaire was designed to assess these functions both in the general pediatric population and in children at high risk for visual cognitive issues, through responses from parents or primary caregivers. Method. A total of 60 infants (to 11. Conclusion. The PreViAs questionnaire has proven useful for detecting abnormal visual maturation in infants aged 0 to 24 months. It facilitates the process of collecting anamnestic data from infants at risk of visual dysfunctions.
