What Are Visual Perceptual Disorders?
Visual perceptual disorders are difficulties in how the brain interprets visual information, even when eyesight is normal. These challenges often affect visual motor skills, attention, and learning. Conditions like dyslexia, ADHD/ADD, autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing disorder, and executive function deficits may involve underlying visual perceptual issues. At Better Brain Vision Therapy in Arvada, CO, Dr. Shadaanan Singh helps uncover and treat these often-overlooked difficulties, even in children who haven't received a formal diagnosis.
How Can Visual Perceptual Skills be Improved?
Improving visual perceptual skills involves strengthening how the eyes and brain work together. Dr. Singh provides individualized vision therapy programs at Better Brain Vision Therapy that include activities to improve visual tracking, memory, spatial organization, and motor coordination. With consistent, targeted therapy, children often experience better focus, reading fluency, and confidence in both academic and social settings.
What Are the Symptoms of Visual Perceptual Disorders?
These disorders can cause a wide range of symptoms, including:
- Difficulty identifying similar letters and numbers (visual discrimination deficits)
- Poor spatial awareness and trouble judging distances
- Difficulty remembering visual sequences (visual memory dysfunction)
- Challenges with figure-ground perception (finding objects in cluttered spaces)
- Weak visual-motor integration, affecting handwriting and coordination
- Spatial processing deficits that lead to disorganization or confusion in space
- Symptoms that mimic or overlap with dyslexia, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder
Because these symptoms can look like behavioral or cognitive issues, it's essential to evaluate the visual system as part of a thorough assessment.
