Visuomotor function impairment is commonly observed in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). In this case report, a 13-year-old child diagnosed with NF1 and impaired visuomotor skills participated in an 8-week tablet computer-based cognitive training for visuomotor function. The Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration, 6th Edition (VMI-6) and the Korean Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale for Youth were administered before and after the intervention to assess effectiveness. The Beery-Buktenica VMI-6 raw score improved from 17 to 24, and the Korean Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale for Youth score changed from 45 to 42. These results demonstrate the potential of tablet computer-based cognitive training as a therapeutic intervention to enhance visuomotor function in children with impaired visuomotor skills, without the influence of digital media addiction.
