Visual Processing Disorder
Visual Processing Disorder (VPD) is a condition where the brain has difficulty interpreting visual information, despite normal eye function. It’s not a problem with vision itself but with how the brain processes what the eyes see. This disorder can significantly impact a person’s ability to learn and perform daily tasks.
Common signs of VPD include:
Difficulty with reading and writing
Poor hand-eye coordination
Trouble distinguishing between similar shapes or letters
Challenges with spatial awareness
VPD can be diagnosed through comprehensive evaluations by specialists. Treatment often involves a multidisciplinary approach, including occupational therapy, specialized educational interventions, and adaptive strategies to help individuals cope with their specific challenges.
