It is estimated that 80% of children’s classroom learning is visual (i.e. copying from the board, reading, spelling)1. Successful learning requires an individual’s eyes, brain, and body to work together as a team. When they don’t, even someone with 20/20 eyesight can have trouble gathering, processing, and responding to visual information.

As I spoke about in my last two articles, vision is much more than 20/20. In fact, there are more than 12 visual skills that all come together to make up our vision1. It is the amalgamation of these skills and brain processes that give us the ability to make a meaningful interpretation of what is seen. Vision is learned, we are not born with these visual skills. We develop vision through interaction with our environment.
