I have had several people ask me about Bubs' visual perception issues. The best way that I can explain it is to say that the hardware is all there (his eyes work correctly) but the software is having malfunctions (what he sees is not translating to his brain correctly.) I believe that this is much more common than teachers realize. Could you ...
Visual Perception
Calm Week…
This week has been pretty calm for Bubs. He has had his fits of yelling and throwing things but they have been short lived. Some of it is that I have a definitely plan when issues arise and can follow through immediately. Mostly though, I believe that the therapy is continuing to help. Our OT introduced us to the game ThinkFun Rush Hour Jr. ...
Visual Perception
Now that I have all of the visual perception worksheets made, Bubs and I are working on them each afternoon. We took the 1-1 worksheets from each of the categories.

Block to Block Direct Match
The optometrist was very kind to sit down with me to give me specific activities to help Bubs with his visual perception problems. The concept that she taught us was "Block to Block" therapy. The purpose is to develop form matching and discrimination using 3-D figures in 1 to 1 correspondence. Basically that means helping Bubs match what I have ...
Seeing 20/20
Today, Bubs and I braved the elements to attend his vision therapy screening. Going into the appointment I didn't know if I should be praying that he has a vision problem or not. See, if the learning difficulties are visual then they can be fix with glasses. Seemed like an easy fix to me. But if the problem is not visual, then we have other ...
