Total sample size will be of 40 participants. After meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria participants will be divided into two groups .Group A Control group will receive conventional therapy program. Place toys/objects inside and encourage the student to reach in and pull them out as well as put them back in. Give the student objects that can be put together and pulled apart. Group B will be treated with standard activity based therapy In which place different( nuts, screws, bullets, coins, paper clips, coloring ,scissor cutting with different shapes, Simulated feeding (by collecting beans with a spoon and transferring them into a container),transfer light and heavy weight objects into empty box. Nine whole peg tests are used to measure fine dexterity in visual impaired children. Jebsen Taylor hand function test for quantify motor hand function test. Total time for treatment per session will 45 minutes and duration of treatment will be 12 weeks, four days a week.box and block test used to improve manual hand dexterity. Assessment will be taken pre treatment, mid treatment at 4th week and 8th week and post treatment after 12th week. Data will be analyzed by SPSS
