Visual Processing
Visual processing is the way the brain, not the eyes, processes the world around us, including things like symbols, pictures, and distances. Individuals with visual processing issues often struggle with visual memory, visual-motor skills and processing what they see, which can affect their reading, tracking, writing and math abilities. The person may see the information clearly, but their brain cannot process the information they see. This may be the reason they write their letters backward, forget letters and numbers, aren’t able to sequence math facts, and can’t use their eyes to track their hand as they write on a piece of paper or copy notes from another source.
