A Visual Processing Workshop
You will have access to the course for 365 days.
Description:
Welcome to Dr. Erica Warren's workshop, where the the complexities of visual processing is explored. Join us for a presentation about the profound impact of visual processing on learning and discover the tools and strategies to enhance this crucial skill.
Workshop Highlights:
Defining Visual Processing: Dr. Warren will demystify this critical cognitive function and shed light on how it shapes our perception and understanding of the world.
Impact on Learning: Explore the far-reaching effects of visual processing on learning, including its influence on reading, writing, memory, attention, problem-solving, and social-emotional development.
The Brain's Visual Processing: Learn about the processes that occur within the brain during visual processing.
Subtypes of Visual Processing: Dr. Warren will introduce you to the many subtypes of visual processing, each with its unique definition and set of tools for strengthening. Explore areas such as discrimination and directionality, memory and visualization, sequencing, closure, tracking, reasoning, spatial perception, figure-ground recognition, synthesis, form constancy, and motor skills.
Strengthening Visual Processing Skills: Acquire practical techniques and exercises to enhance visual processing abilities.
Assessment Tools: Learn about assessments designed to evaluate visual processing abilities. Discover how these tests can provide valuable insights into areas of strength and areas in need of improvement, allowing for targeted skill development.
Unlock the Power of Visual Processing:
Whether you're an educator seeking to optimize your teaching methods, a parent wanting to support your child, or an individual looking to enhance your cognitive skills, this workshop will help you to understand and strengthen this vital skill.
Visual processing is how the brain interprets and makes sense of information received from the eyes. It involves a complex series of cognitive steps that enable us to perceive, recognize, and interpret visual information. Visual processing encompasses vital skills for early literacy because it is closely related to the foundational skills that students require to read, write, think, and interact with others.
Visual processing is important for early literacy because it is closely related to the foundational skills that enable children to compute math, read, and write. Weaknesses or deficits in any of the subtypes of visual processing can make it difficult for learners to perceive and understand the visual world. Common difficulties that can interrupt the learning process include:
Clearly, learning how to strengthen visual processing skills can help teachers create a strong cognitive foundation for successful learning in the classroom and beyond.
