It is estimated that 80% of learning occurs through vision. A sighted child learns about the world through observation. For children with visual challenges visual learning is often limited. Learning opportunities are often too far away and thus go unnoticed or are simply not perceived accurately. This lack of visual processing can impair or affect functional activities such as play, reading, writing, spelling as well as components of those activities such as coordination, balance, directionality, tracking and memory. Intervention is crucial in providing opportunities for those children with visual challenges. The Abilitations catalog offers you an array of products that encourage visual processing. Aside from a proper eye evaluation, many children can benefit from from an evaluation and treatment from a behavioral optometrist and occupational therapist.
