VISION is how you see things, how the brain uses the eyes together to gather information, and how the brain processes, organizes, and manipulates that information to integrate with other sensory systems in the body. Vision is so much more than seeing 20/20!!! Your regular optometrist and your school screening test for ONE of the SEVENTEEN necessary skills for good vision.
Skills required for good vision:
- Eye Movement Control, Saccades, Pursuits, Convergence
- Binocular Coordination/Depth Perception
- Accommodation/Flexibility/Endurance
- Visual Memory/Visual Thinking
- Central/Peripheral Vision
- Color Perception
- Gross/Fine Visual -Motor Visual
- Perception/Integration
How Do We Test for These Visual Skills?
The Neuro-Processing Evaluation is warranted for many patients, especially those who are academically challenged. This evaluation is two hours of Neuro-Processing testing performed by Dr. Martin, which includes reading assessment, dyslexia screening, handwriting evaluation, retained primitive reflex testing, visual processing, visual memory, spatial and body awareness, and more.
A separate one-hour “Parent Only” Consultation is scheduled with the Doctor following the Neuro-Processing Evaluation. This consultation will go over the testing, report results, and discuss an individualized treatment plan.
*Treatment plans may include an individualized Vision Therapy Plan and/or Optometric Multi-Sensory Training.
