Visual Perceptual Rehabilitation

Visual Perceptual skills involve the ability to organize and interpret the information that is seen and give it meaning.” Our eyes send large amounts of information to our brains to process every single second. If our eyes are sending us the proper information in a way that makes sense, the brain can then process it, thus allowing us to form thoughts, make decisions, and create action.

Deficits in perceptual skills may involve:

• Agnosias

• Recognition problems

• Neglect of visual field or body part

• Constructional problems

• Apraxias

• Aculia

Occupational therapy may include:

• Compensatory approach

• Cognitive overload approach

• Focus on Visual Figure-Ground

• Visual Attention

• Form Constancy

• Visual Discrimination

• Visual Memory

• Sequential Memory

• Visual Closure

• Visual Spatial-Relations
