VISION requires many skills working together in an integrated manner to help us derive meaning and take action upon the information coming to us through our eyes. The clarity of our sight (or 20/20 ability) is only ONE of these skills.
Research demonstrates that over 20 visual skills are required in order to have effective reading & learning abilities. Some of these visual skills include:
• VISUAL TRACKING
• VISUAL FOCUSING
• EYE TEAMING
• VISUAL PERCEPTION
• VISUAL-MOTOR INTEGRATION
• VISUAL-AUDITORY INTEGRATION
• VISUALIZATION
Click on a skill to learn more about it. Then, consider how you are using each of these skills right now while working on the computer, or how you may use them while you're out on the ball field or driving your car.
If any of the visual skills are deficient, there will be an effect on your ability to gather visual information efficiently and comfortably. Furthermore, your ability to process and respond to visual information quickly and accurately will be affected as well.
