Visual Perceptual Problems in Adult Disabled Readers

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>This paper attempts to discover If visual perceptual problems contribute to reading difficulties. The reason for inability by a student to interpret the symbols on the printed page is often difficult to diagnose. A study of these problems may lead to more efficient diagnosis and remediation.</p> <p>Sixty adult disabled readers were tested to try to discover if their reading difficulties were caused by visual perceptual problems. These subjects were selected randomly as to sex, age and severity of reading disablement from students attending the Adult Basic Education classes. They were tested for visual acuity and visual perception. The results were tabulated and percentages presented as to difficulties affecting different segments of the population including age and gender.</p>
