Overview
With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Kenneth A. Lane has designed Developing Ocular Motor and Visual Perceptual Skills: An Activity Workbook to help occupational therapists, optometrists, and other professionals who work with learning disabled children to develop ocular motor and visual perceptual skills. To establish a framework for understanding, each chapter begins with the scientific theories used to develop the activities. The easy-to-follow activities are then presented, along with numerous illustrations that help develop ocular motor and visual perceptual skills. All the activities are divided into five levels of difficulty so both children and teenagers can benefit from each activity. The chapters conclude with suggestions on how to solidify the program's success.Synopsis
Children with underdeveloped ocular motor and visual perception skills are likely to have problems in reading or learning to read. Writing for occupational therapists, optometrists, and other professionals, developmental optometrist and consultant Lane gives the theories on sequencing, dual vision processing, cerebullum- vestibular, conception of space and eye movements behind the activities he proposes. He describes the complexities of reading and the eye functions necessary to read, followed by activities for ocular motor, gross motor, visual motor perception, visual memory, laterality, and reversals skills. He also gives examples of daily lesson plans, a glossary of terms, a questionnaire, and a list of references. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
