| Visual Information Processing Evaluation (VIPE)
Visual processing refers to a group of skills used for interpreting and understanding visual information. These skills are important for many tasks that children perform in the classroom. For example, a child might need to look at something on the board and then write down the information or solve the problem. In this example the child needs to remember what they saw (visual memory) and write the information accurately (visual motor integration). Children who have problems in visual processing typically have one or more of the following symptoms; reversal errors, difficulty remembering what is read, poor understanding of right and left directions, and poor handwriting. If a visual-processing problem is suspected then an evaluation using standardized tests may be recommended. We typically evaluate visual spatial, visual analysis, and visual motor skills. Following testing, a treatment plan will be designed based on weak areas. Finally, vision therapy procedures are recommended to improve the weak areas. What is a Visually Related Learning Problem?
