My students with visual impairment need to have increased visual efficiency skills form the input channel for visual information as it travels to their brain to be processed and used for effective reading, writing and other academic tasks. Using puzzles will help increase their visual efficiency.
My students have different types of visual impairment.
In addition, they may have autism, visual impairment, fine and gross motor delays, sensory delays, and other developmental delays. Through the use of thorough, systematic training, most children with remaining functional vision can be taught to better and more efficiently utilize their remaining vision.
My Project
Visual efficiency/perceptual refers to a group of visual skills important for success in school, sports, driving, and the modern workplace.
Visual efficiency/perceptual skills include: depth perception, color perception, and oculomotor skills such as eye teaming, eye movement, and eye focusing speed and accuracy.
Visual perceptual processing, or visual information processing, is a set of skills we use to gather visual information from the environment and integrate them with our other senses. This is done while incorporating all the integrated information with other things, such as past experiences, motivation and development, so that we can derive understanding and meaning from what we are experiencing. This process allows the development of schemes to derive meaning from what we see.
The puzzles will help my students will learn how to use the visual efficiency/perceptual skills by using puzzles will help increase my students success in school, sports, driving, and the modern workplace.
Visual perceptual processing is very important, but especially so when learning.
