VISUAL
PERCEPTUAL
SKILLS
VISUAL PERCEPTION REFERS TO
GROUP OF VISUAL COGNITIVE
SKILLS USED FOR EXTRACTING
AND ORGANIZING VISUAL
INFORMATION FROM THE
ENVIRONMENT AND
INTEGRATING IT WITH OTHER
SENSORY MODALITIES AND
HIGHER COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS.
VISUAL PROCESSING IS
FURTHER DEFINED AS ACTIVE
PROCESS OF LOCATING AND
EXTRACTING INFORMATION
FROM THE ENVIRONMENT,
COMPRISING THE FOLLOWING
PROCESSES:
Discrimination
Memory
Closure
Visual
Spatial Relationships
Visual Motor Integration
Visual Association
Figure-Ground
Discrimination
TWO OTHER ASPECTS OF VISUAL
PERCEPTION RELEVANT TO
ORIENTATION AND MOBILITY
AND FACILITATION OF VISION IN
DAILY LIFE:
Depth
Perception
Color Perception
Rationale
ASSESSMENT
OF VARIOUS PERCEPTUAL
ABILITIES WILL YIELD AN ESTIMATE OF
HOW VISUAL IMPAIRMENT INFLUENCES
DAY TO DAY INTERACTIONS WITH THE
ENVIRONMENT, AND, TO HELP
DETERMINE THE TYPE OF LEARNING
MEDIA THAT WILL BE MOST
MEANINGFUL TO THE STUDENT.
BEFORE COMPLETING VISUAL
PERCEPTUAL SKILLS PROTOCOL,
ADMINISTER THE DIVE, THE
PROTOCOL FOR ASSESSMENT AND
COMPARISON OF VISUAL BEHAVIORS
WITH COGNITIVE, SOCIAL AND MOTOR
PROCESSES.
ADMINISTRATION OF DIVE
PROTOCOL (CHECKLIST)
Use the DIVE (Developmental
Inventory of Visual
Efficiency) as a
developmental guide to the
types and levels of perceptual
abilities that are expected at
various age levels.
VISUAL PERCEPTUAL SKILLS
Complete the following items
based on review of items found on
DIVE appropriate to student’s
developmental functioning level.
All processes may not be
addressed – depending on
developmental level. Each
process is scored Passed (P),
Emerging (E), or Absent (A)
relative to student’s
developmental range of
