Visual Processing
"The role of the optometrist in the multi-disciplinary approach is to
assess the child's visual abilities. Attempting to function in the academic
environment with poor visual abilities may result in fatigue, short attention
span, avoidance of near work, slower performance, and reversals or
transpositions. Deficient eye-hand coordination can result in sloppy or
tedious handwriting which will interfere with a child's ability to express
thoughts in writing."
