Vision is affected by changes in the nervous systems. The Mind-Eye Connection measures sensory integration – how auditory, visual, balance and motor pathways interact with the mind and with each other. What you see, and how you see, creates your world.

The Mind-Eye Connection provides workshops to groups so that they understand first hand what types of subtle clues to look for.

Books are available summarizing in layperson form how visual processing is important. A child who is diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, CAPD, Developmental Delays, for example, may in fact be producing these symptoms partially because of visual systems dysfunctions. An optometrist specializing in visual processing looks at the big picture of how the environment affects the person’s mind and body. This involves the interaction between a person and their environment, as well as unconscious reflex functions. The developmental examination covers much more than how well you can see.
