Book Description
This extraordinary book is an indispensable reference for outlining the theoretical basis for visual, perceptual, and cognitive deficits, as well as specific procedures for the evaluation and treatment of these deficits. The book clearly explains each deficit and provides step-by-step testing techniques along with complete treatment guidelines. This invaluable book addresses both top down and bottom up approaches to evaluation and treatment. Vision, Perception, and Cognition is divided into categories for clarity, such as visual processing and discrimination skills, body scheme difficulties, executive functions and motor planning. The author has added additional theoretical information to back up evaluation and treatment decisions that are discussed. All the sections have been updated to represent the most current information available.
