SIGHT VS VISION, ARE THEY REALLY DIFFERENT?
80 % OF WHAT WE LEARN IS PROCESSED VIA
THE VISUAL SYSTEM
THEREFORE:
WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN THE VISUAL SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY?
SIGHT
THE ABILITY TO SEE A CERTAIN SIZE TARGET AT A SPECIFIC DISTANCE
SIGHT
20/20 VS 20/40
ENCOMPASSES
VISION
EYE MOVEMENTS TRACKING PURSUITS
ACCOMMODATION
THE ABILITY TO QUICKLY FOCUS FROM DISTANCE TO NEAR OBJECTS IN A SMOOTH FASHION
PERCEPTION
PERCEPTION
THE ABLITY TO GET MEANING FROM PAST
AND PRESENT EXPERIENCES
WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THESE SLIDES ?
HOW DO WE EVALUATE AND TREAT THESE CONDITIONS?
PATIENTS ARE TESTED IN OUR NEUROSENSORY ROOM
The testing then provides a graphical analysis
of where the problems may exist. These tests are performed prior to the treatment, during treatment and post treatment providing the clinician data to make changes in the rehabilitation program
Vision Rehabilitation Therapy
Once we determine how the visual system is
functioning we can then provide an appropriate treatment program
VISION THERAPY
THERAPY IS BEST DONE ONE ON ONE WITH A
TRAINED THERAPIST. THE THERAPIST MUST UNDERSTAND HOW THE VISUAL SYSTEM IS TIED DIRECTLY INTO THE LEARNING PROCESS, AND HOW IT RELATES TO ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING:
READING, WRITING, PLAYING ALL GROSS MOTOR ACTIVITIES ALL FINE MOTOR ACTIVITIES
COMPUTER ASSISTED THERAPY
THIS TYPE OF THERAPY IS ONE OF THE
NEWEST IN TERMS OF VISUAL DEVELOPMENT. IT CAN BE USED FOR ALL TYPES OF VISUAL DEFICITS AND HAS PROVEN TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND REPRODUCIBLE FROM ONE THERAPIST TO ANOTHER.
HAND HELD THERAPY
HAND-HELD AND OUT-OF-INSTRUMENT THERAPY IS THE BASIS FOR THE COMPUTER THERAPY PROGRAMS
THESE TYPES OF DISORDERS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN ANY CHILD’S BEHAVIOR AND DEVELOPMENT
THEY ARE NOT AS OBVIOUS TO THE
ORDINARY CLINICIAN AS THIS IS:
VISUAL DEFICITS CAN ONLY BE OBSERVED BY
AN EXPERIENCED CLINICIAN TRAINED IN THIS AREA WITH ALL OF THE NEWEST TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE:
VISION…..IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE
VISION: IT CONTROLS GROSS MOTOR
VISION: IT CONTROLS FINE MOTOR
IT CONTROLS SELF ESTEEM
VISION LEADS US:
80% PERCENT OF ALL STIMULI ARE RECEIVED
VIA THE VISUAL PATHWAYS. IF THE STIMULI ARE DELAYED IN ANY AREAS:
TRACKING, PURSUITS, FOCUSING, PERCEPTION AND DEPTH PERCEPTION THEN THE BRAIN DOES NOT RECEIVE THE RIGHT MESSAGES AND THIS RESULTS IN MANY DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS……… ……………………
