learning disabilities there is secure developing your child’s learning skills

0:05

how to make sure that your child is working at his full potential

0:10

developing visual discrimination

0:13

learning disabled children are children who initially had average just superior

0:17

i’d use but also have serious signing skill deficiencies

0:21

generally they are working to two-and-a-half years below grade level

0:25

the basic learning skills our visual perception

0:28

visual memory auditory perception and auditory memory

0:32

if children week in any of these areas it will affect the way they learn bulk

0:37

in and out of school

0:38

but particularly with school related subjects

0:46

their perception

0:47

isn’t general term used to describe the processing in interpreting a visual

0:51

information

0:52

visual discrimination

0:54

inbounds visual attention and the ability to distinguish between visual

0:59

stimuli such as words

1:01

especially that which is similar but not the same

1:04

visual discrimination is essential for the development of good reading

1:08

and spelling

1:12

one of the most common recognize learning skills is visual discrimination

1:18

involves the ability to process an intrepid information that is vishal

1:22

visual discrimination involved the ability to see likenesses and

1:25

differences

1:26

in pictures symbols numbers letters poured in words

1:30

tender child

1:31

recognize the difference between a baseball and a soccer ball

1:35

a two and a three

1:37

a cattle c energy

1:39

and words such as

1:41

now

1:44

win

1:45

dusty pre see the difference between

1:49

abhi an empty

1:51

the words was inside

1:53

or do they like the same to him

1:55

there is sometimes in misconception that children who reversed be cindy’s

2:00

are wasn’t soft

2:01

actually see these words in reverse

2:04

this is not the case

2:05

it is not that they see the words mean for star trek how they perceive the

2:09

words

2:10

it has a lot to do with i’d movement moving eyes from left to right lobe

2:15

reading

2:16

some children will read was first thought and soft fur was sometimes

2:20

that not call the time

2:22

it depends on whether or not they are moving their eyes across the word combat

2:26

too bright our right to left

2:28

in addition it is not uncommon for parents to become concerned that their

2:33

child

2:34

who is just beginning to read

2:36

may be learning disabled when they see their child reversing bs empties are

2:40

reading was first off

2:42

however it is important for parents to understand

2:45

peddling disabled child has many other going still weaknesses besides visual

2:51

discrimination

2:52

and that beginning readers often

2:54

confuse beads and bees

2:56

simply because they have not yet internalized the directionality of the

3:00

letters

3:01

therefore when parents see this happen

3:03

they should not panic

3:05

rather work with their child to try to help him internalize the correct

3:09

direction of these letters

3:11

however

3:12

the child continues to have difficulties with be empty reversals

3:16

and you noticed other minor perceptual amp greasy such as reading his as he in

3:22

is on

3:23

as bear x at around

3:25

and they should consider that child may need to be tested

3:29

to find out if he is learning disabled

3:32

or simply needs work for the development visual perceptual skills

3:39

when a child confuses words that are similar but not the same

3:42

it is extremely helpful to work with the child using the back technique

3:47

visual auditory chemist that i

3:49

tactile

3:50

whereby the child traces the letters

3:53

saying the names of the letters

3:55

re in reading the word after he traces the letters

3:59

he then sees it

4:01

it’s the motion and feel of the letters

4:04

enter sequence as he traces each word

4:08

he should trace the letters as many times as he needs to

4:11

until he feels the heat real truly knows the word

4:15

this is an

4:16

excellent way to help the child to overcome confusion between similar words

4:22

is important to note however that there are other forms a visual discrimination

4:27

problems

4:27

such as omitting the letters that are dear

4:30

or any weddings that are not there

4:32

for example but i’ll tell you read the word truck as tuck

4:37

omitting the arc

4:38

are back

4:39

as black

4:40

adding the l

4:42

he may not receive words correctly because he does not focus and on the

4:46

bottles

4:47

or consonants

4:49

he made read book as took

4:51

or find as fun

4:55

it is extremely important for parents and teachers to point out differences

4:59

and similar words and to have students work on exercises

5:03

help them develop their ability to get surely noticed these differences

5:08

putting words that are commonly confused anna flashcard and having students study

5:13

them is also very helpful

5:15

for example

5:17

if a child confuses went and want to

5:20

frequently

5:20

the parent or teacher e sharepoint out the differences in the two words and

5:25

then click went want on one side of the flashcard

5:29

and want

5:30

went on the other

5:32

they should have the child review these words frequently until they have

5:36

internalized the difference between the two words

5:39

other helpful tools our visual discrimination workbooks

5:44

especially those that

5:45

focus on the most commonly misperceived words

5:49

they help students to move their eyes from left to right across that work

5:53

looking carefully at the beginning

5:55

metals and and that’s the words

5:57

and stress the importance of noting differences in words that are similar

6:01

but not the thing
