Auditory and Visual Processing Disorders Often in school environments, as well as at home, children learn through visual and auditory perception. Visual and auditory processing are key ways to learn; they are used to recognize and interpret the information collected by the two senses, from sound and sight. It is therefore clear that having this disorder can make learning through sight and hearing a little more difficult and problematic, but certainly not impossible. Visual processing disorder, also known as perceptual disorder, is defined as "an impaired ability to make sense" of information being absorbed through the eyes." (National Center for the Learning Disabled (NCLD) 1999) http: //www.ldonline.org/article/6390/ This does not mean that a person has problems with their vision or vision, it simply means that their brain has a harder time interpreting and processing what they see visually. common area affected is spatial relationship. This is the “position of objects in space as well as the ability to accurately perceive objects in space with reference to other objects”.

This can make reading and math difficult to understand and understand, as both subjects deal with many symbols such as numbers and punctuation marks problems occur in mathematics. To be successful in mathematics, a person with this learning disability must learn to associate the digit or sign by creating a common relationship between them. Visual discrimination is "using the sense of sight to notice and compare the characteristics of different elements to distinguish one." element from another” (NCLD Editorial Team, 2014) http://www.ncld.o...... middle of paper ......positive and building the child's self-esteem, so he doesn't give up on themselves. (Nemours Foundation 1995-2014) The cause of visual and auditory processing disorders is multifaceted. A combination of genetic factors, environmental stressors, trauma, and neurochemical imbalance are likely the reasons these children suffer. If the cause is multifaceted, the care of these children must also be. A program designed to balance body chemistry with quality nutrition, environmental stress with a safe surrounding environment, and traumatic brain issues with the correct medical evaluation and treatment. Teachers and psychology professionals must work together to implement and modify learning strategies as needed, individually with each child. It may not be easy or convenient, but it is the right thing to do to unleash the full potential of these young people.
