THE USES AND ABUSES OF VISUAL TRAINING FOR CHILDREN WITH PERCEPTUAL-MOTOR LEARNING PROBLEMS

Abstract
Current approaches dealing with visual training for children with perceptualmotor learning problems are described. The conclusion is drawn that an understanding of multi-causes, multi-symptoms, and multi-remedial methods is needed to diagnose most effectively and remediate a learning disorder. A perceptual-motor problem is seldom found in isolation, but usually in conjunction with other symptoms and causative factors. To treat only one aspect of a problem is to court disaster. A multi-disciplinary approach synthesizing clinical services with scientific verification should provide the most effective help for children with learning problems.
