A three-pronged approach included the implementation of (a) compensatory strategies, (b) remediation exercises and (c) transfer of learned skills in multiple environments and situations. Comprehensive neuropsychological and occupational therapy evaluations were performed at admission and at discharge. Neuropsychological test improvements were noted on tasks that assess visuospatial functioning, although most gains were noted for functional and physical abilities.A patient with congenital deafness exhibited partial Bálints syndrome symptoms. This patient experienced an inability to perceive simultaneous events in her visual field. She was also unable to fixate and follow an object with her eyes. In addition, her ability to point at targets under visual guidance was impaired.Bálints syndrome is rarely reported in children, but some recent studies provide evidence that cases do exist in children. A case involving a 10-year-old male child with Bálints syndrome has been reported Similar results were seen in a 7-year-old boy. In children this syndrome results in a variety of occupational difficulties, but most notably difficulties in schoolwork, especially reading. The investigators encourage more careful recognition of the syndrome to allow adequate rehabilitation and environmental adaptation. Criticism
The validity of Bálints syndrome has been questioned by some. The components in the syndromes triad of defects (simultanagnosia, oculomotor apraxia, optic ataxia) each may represent a variety of combined defects.
figure/ground defects in which a patient can see either the background but not the object residing somewhere in the whole scene, or conversely can see the object but sees no background around it (simultanagnosia)
a patient, while attempting to put one foot into a slipper by trying to insert the foot into a nonexistent slipper several inches from the real slipper, even as the patient focuses on the actual slipper (optic ataxia)
a patient raising a fork or spoon containing food to a point on the patients face above or below the mouth, and possibly finding the mouth by trial and error by manually moving the utensil on the face (optic ataxia)

Treatment
In terms of the specific rehabilitation of visuoperceptual disorders such as Bálints syndrome, the literature is extremely sparse. According to one study, rehabilitation training should focus on the improvement of visual scanning, the development of visually guided manual movements, and the improvement of the integration of visual elements. Very few treatment strategies have been proposed, and some of those have been criticized as being poorly developed and evaluated.Three approaches to rehabilitation of perceptual deficits, such as those seen in Bálints syndrome, have been identified:

The adaptive (functional) approach, which involves functional tasks utilising the persons strengths and abilities, helping them to compensate for problems or altering the environment to lessen their disabilities. This is the most popular approach. The remedial approach, which involves restoration of the damaged CNS by training in the perceptual skills, which may be generalised across all activities of daily living.
