Eyes help many people navigate through the world—unless you have trouble interpreting the visual information your eyes are giving you. If this happens, visual processing disorder treatment identifies the cause of dysfunction and offers resources for correction or symptom management. Let the team at Abbey Neuropsychology improve the quality of your life.
An inability to process visual information can easily be overlooked or even misdiagnosed, particularly in children, resulting in ongoing struggles and confusion. Abbey Neuropsychology helps you identify causes and contributing factors. Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan designed to support stronger visual processing and overall well-being.
We offer local visual processing disorder treatment in Palo Alto, CA. Plus, we offer telehealth options for families across California, Texas, and Florida. Call us today to learn more about how we can help.
Once information comes through your visual sense, your brain needs to process it. A disconnect in the processing process can result in headaches, difficulties with concentration, and visual fatigue—all of which put further stress on those who experience visual processing disorders.
Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic’s unique vision training program aims to use vision training and other testing methods of support to enhance the perception and processing of incoming visual information. The visual system is something that develops, and as such, it is also a neurological function that training can improve.
A treatment plan with Abbey Neuropsychology may include the following.
We’ll perform a thorough evaluation to understand what’s contributing to your visual processing disorder. Armed with this knowledge, we’ll develop a customized treatment plan targeting areas that can make a difference.
Neurofeedback begins with a quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) to map your brain activity. This brain-based training method allows you to influence cognitive functions, such as visual processing.
Eye tracking and eye teaming are natural functions of the eyes. When the eyes work as a team to intake information, it is easy for the brain to process the input. Training for eye teaming gives you more control over visual stimulation.
Other conditions can contribute to or worsen visual processing problems. For clients with learning disabilities like dyslexia or neurodivergent conditions like ADHD, we’ll coordinate treatment plans to maximize symptom improvement.
Visual processing disorders refer to any condition that limits a person’s ability to process visual input. These problems can be related to eye health, cognitive health, or neurodivergent conditions.
For example:
In many situations, conditions like these can overlap to cause visual processing difficulties in an individual.
The hallmark of visual processing disorders is a lack of understanding from visual input. Because this is a disconnect between the senses and the brain—rather than actual lack of sensory input one would expect from vision problems—many people may not immediately recognize their symptoms.
Children may display secondary symptoms that are easier for parents to notice, such as:
If you are concerned about visual processing in a loved one, reach out to our team for evaluation.
Neuropsychological assessments are an invaluable diagnostic tool for psychiatric, developmental, and neurocognitive conditions like ADHD, depression, autism, and dementia.
