Watching one’s child struggle with visual processing disorder can be heartbreaking. Children are smart and know when they struggle more than their peers. Watching them work so hard to understand or memorize information, all the while wondering why their friends don’t seem to have to work so hard, can leave a parent feeling sad and helpless.

There are different types of visual processing disorder. Therefore, it can be difficult to recognize symptoms of a visual processing disorder. A person who struggles with visual processing disorder can have perfect vision. Visual processing disorder occurs when one’s brain has difficulty making sense of what they see.

Types of Visual Information that may be affected:

• Shapes, objects, letters, or numbers
• Sequencing of visual information
• Recognizing how close objects are to each other
• Recognizing and naming objects
• Distinguishing objects from competing backgrounds

These difficulties directly impact reading, spelling, math, and visual memory.  Social difficulties and motor coordination are also affected when one’s visual processing disorder affects their spatial awareness. Since much of what is taught in the classroom relies on visuals, a student that struggles with this disorder will have difficulties in most areas in school.
