VISION & LEARNING

Did you know that?

  • Vision is our dominant sense
  • 80% of learning is done through the visual system
  • At least 50% of the brain is dedicated to visual functions

Studies show that over 80% of children that struggle academically have visual skill deficits that go beyond the ability to see 20/20.

There are many visual skills that are involved in learning.

Some of these visual skills are:

Ocular Fixation: The ability to keep the eyes on a stationary target.
Eye Movement Control: The ability to move the eyes accurately.
Eye Teaming: The ability to aim both eyes in the same place at the same time.
Depth Perception: The ability to perceive where objects are in space.
Focusing: The ability to sustain clarity and to shift clarity from distance to near and back again.
Visual Perceptual/Processing Skills: A set of skills used to understand the information that comes in from the eyes.
