How
does a Visual Processing Problem affect school work?
It can affect it in a number of ways: |
| |
|
|
| |
1. |
In
the early grades - difficulties with number and letter reversals. For example,
the child thinks and sees "6" but writes "9"; or thinks
and sees "b" but writes "d". |
| |
|
|
| |
2. |
In
the higher grades, it can directly affect the factoring of numbers in algebra,
specifically when having to shift like and unlike terms around. This requires
seeing the relational patterns within the subject. |
| |
|
|
| |
3. |
When
having to study, take exams or handle assignments, the ability to pull out
facts and retain them becomes overwhelming. As a result, it is very difficult
to write a coherent essay without a structure in place. This is usually
due to the difficulty of knowing how to organize the material in such a
way as to see the relationships between the facts. |

4. |
At
any grade level, the student will have difficulty accurately copying information
from the board, taking notes from lectures and writing essay answers to
tests. |
