Visual Reading Disorders

readingThere are many learning disorders that are related to vision problems. The brain processes information visually in several different ways. As we’ve discussed before, many times children are misdiagnosed with behavioral disorders when the actual issue is a visual/learning disorder.

disordersHere are some of the more common ways our brain processes information visually:

  • Sequencing (the ability to see and distinguish words, symbols, and numbers)
  • Figure–Ground Discrimination (the ability to distinguish a character or shape from its background)
  • Motor Processing (also referred to as hand-eye coordination, the ability to process information from the eyes and move parts of your body accordingly)
  • Memory (long-term and short-term, the ability to remember what you have seen)
  • Spatial Relationships (the ability to determine how shapes are positioned in relation to one another)
  • Discrimination (the ability to process and distinguish one item from another)

childVisual disorders can manifest themselves in many different ways because of the many different ways we visual process information.
