| Sumario: | Visual Information Processing includes a multitude of skills that allow selection, analysis, and integration of information from the environment. For children, the development of these abilities is central for success with school, hobbies, and daily life. Detection of delays in younger children allows the opportunity for early intervention that can be critical during this period of rapid development. The State University of New York (SUNY) battery allows for evaluation of visual motor and visual spatial abilities in young children from the ages of two years old to nine years old. It is also an important option to consider for children with special needs who are unable to undergo standardized testing. Vision therapy is a recommended treatment for patients who display delays with any of these abilities. It may also be necessary to incorporate interdisciplinary management in the care of these children in order to ensure full-scope treatment of their delays. A case report will review the diagnosis and management of a four-year-old patient with special needs, visual motor skill delays, and visual spatial skill delays. |
