What is Visual Perception?

Visual Perception is the ability to interpret, analyse and give meaning to what is seen. This is of the utmost importance when establishing the building blocks for learning. Your child is constantly learning through visual opportunities which present themselves in everyday life at home, at school, in social interaction and in play. Up to 80% of what they learn is through visual opportunities.

Most children will successfully be able to develop the ability to recognise, recall and make sense of what they see but a breakdown in this process can hinder your child's ability to learn. Children with learning disabilities generally have average or above average intelligence, but a contrasting gap between ability and performance is created if their visual perceptual skills are lacking in any given area. The process of taking in one's environment is referred to as "perception." If this perception is incorrect or altered in any way, a child will present with reading, spelling, handwriting, maths and comprehension problems.

Visual perception may be connected to physical eye issues but even with 20/20 vision, your child can still struggle to organise visual information and develop the visual perceptual skills necessary to establish a strong foundation for learning.

An immaturity in any of the visual perceptual areas can improve as the brain matures a great deal from early childhood into adulthood. The Worksheet Database is a unique tool that can help to stimulate this process of eye to brain to action, and encourage children to correctly assimilate visual perceptual skills within their schoolwork.

About the Worksheet Database

Visual Learning For Life's Worksheet Database is a unique tool that has been designed to stimulate the development of visual perceptual skills and encourage children to assimilate these skills within their schoolwork. This empowering tool acts as a gateway to unlock common learning disabilities and is specially designed to help the integration process from one's eyes to one's brain to action.

The comprehensive Database contains over 1000 worksheets, with more being added every month, and can be used by parents, teachers and professionals alike to help children overcome visual perceptual difficulties. The worksheets have been devised to support children from ages 4 to 18.

The worksheets are broken up into ten Visual Perceptual Areas or sub skills. Problems in any of these ten areas can be identified by a professional trained in administering standardised visual perceptual tests. Alternatively if you are a parent or teacher, you can use our Online Checklist as a guide to help pin point the visual perceptual areas that require attention. They are Form Constancy, Figure Ground, Position in Space, Spatial Relationships, Visual Discrimination, Visual Closure, Visual Analysis and Synthesis, Visual Memory, Visual Sequential Memory, Visual Motor Integration.

Each section has been graded into three levels. Level 1 being the easiest with level 2 and 3 increasing in difficulty respectively. It is recommended to start on level 1 as this will provide a solid base of understanding and will help the child get to grips with the exercises quickly and easily. The Worksheet Database allows you to tailor make individual programmes to suit the needs of every child giving them the means to tackle the visual perceptual areas that they are specifically weak in. This will in turn sharpen their mental skills and narrow the gap between their ability and performance.

Parents, teachers and professionals can browse the Worksheet Database  free of charge or setup a Subscription to gain complete access to the entire range of worksheets. The Subscription allows you to personalise your account, giving you the power to target your child's, pupil's or patient's individual needs.
