Developing Ocular Motor and Visual Perceptual Skills: An Activity Workbook First Edition

GREAT value for anyone who works with ocularmotor control dysfunction and visual-perceptual difficulties in the upper elementary, middle school, high school, or adult population. A great resource for use in the clinic with minimal preparation (many pages are meant to be copied and used without modification or preparation,) but most ideas are presented with grading and adaptation suggestions available for a wide variety of age populations and abilities. This is a book I wish I'd heard of sooner, it has been invaluable for treating those struggling with attentional difficulties and for those students who require assistance establishing a scanning strategy that promotes a left to right orientation as required for reading the English language. Great resource for parents of children who are receiving vision therapy or occupational therapy for oculomotor control difficulties for home program ideas as well. Activities are written with easy-to-understand instructions and frequently with images to assist with understanding of formatting and orientation of easily reproduced material for use with workbook. Very glad that I found this resource for such a common area of weakness in the school-aged population.

I am an occupational therapist. We are seeing more and more students that are dealing with ocular motor difficulties. This book helped give me a deeper understanding of the issues of visual perceptual skills. Having a better understanding, helps to develop appropriate activities to address each individual need.

I am a COTA (Occupational Therapy) working in a local school district with mostly k-2nd grade. There is a wealth of information and activities to develop visual motor and ocular motor skills. The descriptions of the different areas are fairly easy to understand although someone without an education in this area may find some of it a bit difficult. Even so, the activities are easy to understand and follow. I highly recommend this book to anyone working in occupational therapy.

If you really use this every day, there is good improvement. I use it with all my kids for homeschool activities. There are so many good basic skills in it. It is hard for my older son to practice many of these activities by himself, so it takes some time on your part also if you are using it with a child.

This book has been extremely helpful in my practice with students in the school system. It allows me to use activities at the level I need to for students. I use them in combination with some other things to make excellent progress on eye-hand coordination skills.

Amazing book. There is no way I would have made it as an OT in an outpatient pediatric clinical as a new grad without this resource.

This manual provides a thorough, anatomical background of the visual system. The description of vision disturbances are explained clearly and concisely. It provides concrete strategies to address vision problems. In addition, it provides references for further exploration.

Deep reading, but very helpful activities. Good resource for special ed teacher or parent. Get your child assessed by a professional and then save the money of therapy sessions.
