Develop visual perception skills


 Visual perception refers to the way we see and interpret all the visual information around us. For a pre-school child, these skills are still developing and continue to grow and develop during the primary stage.


 Although most children develop the ability to focus and visual discrimination during growth ... but some children need longer time and may need some extra help


 Visual sensory processing is very important especially for success in school, without which your child will not be able to learn to read accurately, follow or give instructions, copy from a book or the blackboard, remember things visually...etc.


 Children who find it difficult to process visual stimuli show the following difficulties:


 Difficulty distinguishing between right and left (directions)

 Reverse letters or numbers when writing

 Difficulty performing rhythmic activities

 Difficulty doing exercise

 Balance problems

 Difficulty learning the alphabet

 Difficulty understanding abstract concepts in mathematics

 Difficulty perceiving words

 Difficulty completing puzzles or puzzles

 Difficulty copying from the book or the blackboard

 Difficulty distinguishing between similar and different

 Difficulty estimating distance and speed

 Difficulty remembering

 Difficulty understanding instructions

 - attention span is short

 - scattered


 And because visual perception is a complex process, it includes several aspects:

 - visual perception of shapes

 Meaning the child's ability to recognize a shape regardless of the color, size, or angle at which it is viewed.

 Visual discrimination of shape and background

 Meaning the child's ability to focus and search for a specific thing while ignoring and excluding all other irrelevant stimuli.

 Optical shutdown

 Meaning the child's ability to perceive the overall shape when only specific parts of the shape appear.

 - visual memory

 Meaning the child's ability to store and recall information or images that he saw previously, such as remembering the places of things.

 - visual discrimination

 Meaning the child's ability to notice similarities or differences between shapes or between letters or numbers (and this is considered important for carrying out matching and classification activities).

 - spatial relationships

 In the sense of the child's ability to identify the spatial relationships between him and the things around him as well as the relationship between things
