Visual Perception
Visual Perception is the ability to interpret, analyse and give meaning to what is seen. As a Professional in your chosen field, you will have observed that children present with reading, spelling, handwriting, maths and comprehension problems when their perception is incorrect or altered in any way. Visual perceptual difficulties may be connected to physical eye issues but even children with 20/20 vision can struggle to organise visual information and develop the visual perceptual skills necessary to establish a strong foundation for learning.
Visual Learning For Life gives Occupational Therapists, Educational Psychologists, Education Specialists, Optometrists and other professionals a dynamic tool to aid them in their treatment/therapy sessions to unlock common learning disabilities.
The Worksheet Database is a unique tool that helps to stimulate the process of eye to brain to action, and encourage children to correctly assimilate visual perceptual skills within their work. The worksheets can be downloaded and used during treatment sessions or as extra work at home in between sessions. The ever-growing online database offers you a variety of rewarding and challenging exercises that will help to successfully improve a child's visual perceptual skills.
Our Online Checklist can be completed by the parent or teacher involved, to provide you with information, in addition to standardised visual perceptual test data, to identify the exact areas of visual perception which a child may be struggling with. This means you are able to devise exact treatments and tailor make individual programmes for each child.
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.
