Challenging times ahead
My visual perception is very, very bad. I may also be colour blind and will need to be tested. Things will be tough for me at school but I'll do my best and will remember to focus on things I love to do, as well as things I can't. I know the school I'm going to uses the phonic system for reading and writing, so that's good. :)
Visual perception is the ability to recognise, interpret and organise visual images.
Pupils who have difficulties in this area may have:
* a poor sense of direction
* difficulties with organisational skills
* reverse words in both reading and spelling (eg. saw for was)
* difficulty understanding abstract maths concepts, paticularly in the areas of shape, space and measure
* problems with comparative language (eg. taller than, shorter than, longer than)
* difficulty completing jigsaw puzzles
* problems with copying from the board
* problems with interpreting and organising diagrams, charts, graphs, maps and other * visual methods of recording
* difficulties judging speed and distance
* difficulty with letter and number orientation
* difficulty with structuring and organising written work
* strengths in logic, verbal and non-verbal reasoning
* enjoyment in using multisensory strategies when learning
* a preference for a phonic approach to learning to read
* a preference to use audio methods of recording information.

Hi Nikki,
Tom was diagnosed a few years ago with Visual Perception Problems which he probably has as a result of a bleed in his brain when he was four.. there are some quite fun exercised which you can do which really help, and quite a lot of good tips that help at school. I can't say that Tom is a model pupil at school, but in the real world it doesn't bother him much... if you ever want to chat you know where I am
Anyax
