 We report on our intervention to help a patient with visual search dysfunction move independently from the entrance of his workplace to the pickup vehicle during the community-phase of his rehabilitation. Due to hypoxic encephalopathy he suffered 10 years ago as a student, he showed concomitant visual search dysfunction, intellectual disability, impairment of higher brain function, reduced visual acuity, and visual field loss. In Phase I of the intervention, the patient practiced walking along the same route from the entrance to the vehicle, counting the number of steps, and searching for the vehicle's license plate number which he had memorized. In Phase II, he worked on a combination of systematic search tasks, on which he showed significant improvement. Then he practiced applying the systematic searching skill to locate the vehicle in real life. Prior to this intervention, he was only able to reach the vehicle 10% of the time. However, with the intervention he was successful 30% after Phase I and 90% after Phase II. This is almost equivalent to independent movement. The results showed that the intervention to learn useful cues in Phase I and to practice applying them in real life in Phase II brought about behavior modifications that led to some improvement in quality of life.
