Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of the structured program incorporating contextual, behavioral, and cognitive strategies to improve compliance of children and adolescents with special needs during examinations in specialized or general ophthalmic settings. The main question it aims to answer is: "Does this structured program increase ophthalmic examination compliance in children and adolescents with special needs?" Participants will: 1. Attend six individualized training sessions (one session every two weeks, each lasting one hour) 2. Engage in activities to practice and enhance cooperation during ophthalmic examination 3. Undergo pre- and post-program assessments to measure visal function, behavioral adaptation, and other intervention outcomes.
