EYESIGHT IS ONLY ONE SMALL PART OF VISION
(Excerpts from OPEN YOUR EYES AND LISTEN)

Visual processing disorders cannot be detected by merely peering into a person’s eye. In order to determine whether visual skills are developing properly, and in the correct sequence, the mind-eye connection must be examined. In fact, there are 306 visual connections among 47 of the brain’s different sections.

EYESIGHT IS THE ACT OF SEEING.
VISION IS THE ACT OF GIVING MEANING TO PERCEIVED INFORMATION.

Visual systems affect out daily lives. Timely and proper treatment can help develop or enhance these visual systems.
