Ritty, J. Michael – Reading Teacher, 1979
Identifies some functional vision problems and describes some assessment procedures for determining whether a child needs professional help. (MKM)
Descriptors: Diagnostic Tests, Elementary Education, Learning Disabilities, Reading Difficulty
Academic Therapy, 1979
The interview with G. N. Getman, a developmental optometrist specializing in learning problems and disabilities, focuses on vision's impact on learning, the role of the vision specialist in the remediation of learning problems and disabilities, early screening programs, and visual training programs. (DLS)

Texas Education Agency, Austin. Div. of Special Education. – 1984
The manual was intended to help school personnel (either an educator of the visually handicapped and/or a certified orientation and mobility instructor) evaluate the functional use of residual vision. The manual is organized in three major sections, which cover the following: (1) the general areas addressed in functional vision evaluation (such as…

Wachs, Harry – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1981
The author discusses applying J. Piaget's philosophy to the treatment of learning-related visual problems by first probing for the available knowledge in the person's ocular sensorimotor intelligence, visual thinking, and logical reasons. Then, through tasks, the individual is encouraged to engage in high-level thinking in the undeveloped areas.…

Walker, Jearl – Scientific American, 1988
Describes subjective-contour illusions and gives explanations for perception of shape and brightness in these figures. Supports cognitive mechanisms rather than psychological mechanisms. Gives examples of subjective-contour illusions and summarizes explanations of other psychologists with regard to this topic. (CW)

Blanksby, D. C. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1992
This paper offers a model of visual functioning focusing on three factors: (1) visual capacity, (2) visual processing, and (3) visual attention. Practical implications of visual therapy are considered, and intervention strategies with children with impaired visual functioning are suggested. (Author/DB)
Descriptors: Attention Control, Intervention, Models, Perceptual Development

Getman, G. N. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1981
The author reviews aspects of visual integration which should be assessed in students with suspected learning problems: visually directed and monitored movements, visual tactual integrations, visual auditory language integrations, and visual systems integrations. (CL)
Descriptors: Clinical Diagnosis, Elementary Secondary Education, Learning Disabilities, Sensory Integration

Mettler, R. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1990
The article proposes helping visually handicapped clients make optimal use of remaining vision for travel in unmodified environments. Structured discovery learning exercises covering pattern recognition, depth perception, central acuity, and central field vision with peripheral field loss are offered. (Author/DB)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Partial Vision, Rehabilitation, Training Methods
Livingstone, Margaret S. – Scientific American, 1988
Describes the three part system of human vision. Explores the anatomical arrangement of the vision system from the eyes to the brain. Traces the path of various visual signals to their interpretations by the brain. Discusses human visual perception and its implications in art and design. (CW)
Descriptors: Anatomy, Art, Color, Eyes

Dreby, Catherine – Reading Teacher, 1979
Discusses reading specialists' responsibilities concerning children's vision problems. (MKM)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, Learning Disabilities, Ophthalmology, Optometrists

Blanksby, D. C.; Langford, P. E. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1993
This article describes a visual assessment procedure (VAP) which evaluates capacity, attention, and processing (CAP) of infants and preschool children with visual impairments. The two-level battery considers, first, visual capacity and basic visual attention and, second, visual perceptual and cognitive abilities. A theoretical analysis of the…

Gabrielson, Curt – Physics Teacher, 1996
Describes an in-depth, comprehensive method that enables students to understand the basic concepts of visual perception. (JRH)
Descriptors: Physics, Science Activities, Science Instruction, Scientific Concepts

Knoth, Sharon – RE:view, 1995
Students with monocular vision may be in need of special assistance and should be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team to determine whether the visual loss is affecting educational performance. This article discusses the student's eligibility for special services, difficulty in performing depth perception tasks, difficulties in specific classroom…

Rogow, Sally M. – RE:view, 1992
The development of visual perception skills in children with partial vision as well as developmental disabilities is considered. A model of visual learning is offered which incorporates the role of visual experience, movement, and visual learning. Specific teaching suggestions for developing visual attention and visual search skills are offered.…

Erhardt, Rhoda Priest – 1990
This book describes transdisciplinary management of multiply disabled children with vision problems and presents four theoretical models of visual assessment and three illustrative case studies in a sequence appropriate to the learning process. The first three models are intended to lead to assessment and management of the child and the last to…
