What if your brain can't quickly make
sense of visual information....?

VIsual Procesing occurs at the back of the head
  • visual information is misinterpreted/ processed

  • can't use visual cues (sight) to guide movement...

How might this affect your life?

  • if it is hard to recognise words, letters, numbers, shapes, similarities/differences, colour, order > cannot follow what is written on a board, ​can develop eye stress, nausea,  or "unexplained" migraines and headaches

 

  • poor depth perception can affect, driving and parking, sport and climbing stairs"clumsy", poor writing/driving,poor organization on paper,

  • distorted perception of size, shape, and motion can affect reading, handwriting, ability to gauge speed, can lead to sports injuries and motor vehicle accidents

  • seeing only small details and not the whole can cause difficulties understanding charts, diagrams

  • need to wear sunglasses most of the time, sometimes even indoors, due to visual overstimulation by light. Don't manage in bright venues eg shopping centres

  • can become overwhelmed by close visual tasks - may be unable to do or complete them, may develop emotional over-responses

  • can become confused and distracted and seen as "inattentive" or a "behaviour problem"

  • poor awareness of personal space will affect personal and social  relationships 

  • poor ability to accurately recognize facial reactions, body language of others, affects accurate communication, personal and social relationships
