The Visual Sense

Why is my child’s eye-contact so poor? Why does my child avoid eye-contact? Why does my child not look at me? Why does my child cover his eyes?

Does any of that sound familiar? Karen O’Connor, Consultant Speech & Language Therapist, explains how children with visual processing difficulties can present with language, coordination, attention and social difficulties as a result of their visual challenges. They can be very distracted by visual stimuli and have poor eye contact and interaction.

Karen goes on to describe the best approaches/techniques to help children improve their visual processing skills.
