  This systematic review aimed to examine the possible implication of
visual-perceptual, visuo-attentional and oculomotor processing in the reading
deficits frequently experienced by children with Neurofibromatosis type 1
(NF1), as previously shown in dyslexia. Using PRISMA methodological guidelines,
we examined 49 studies; most of these reported visual-processing deficits in
this population, raising the importance of directly studying the
visuo-perceptual and visuo-attentional processes and eye-movement control
involved in the learning-to-read process in NF1. The discussion provides a
reflection for a better understanding of how visual-processing skills interact
with reading deficits in NF1, as well as new avenues for their screening and
care.
