The document discusses auditory and visual processing disorders. It defines auditory processing disorder as difficulties in processing auditory information that is heard. Common areas of difficulty include phonological awareness, auditory discrimination, auditory memory, auditory sequencing, and auditory blending. Visual processing disorders refer to problems interpreting visual information and can include difficulties with visual discrimination, figure-ground perception, sequencing, motor skills, memory, closure and spatial relationships. The document provides interventions for auditory processing disorders such as using visual cues, simplifying instructions, and rhyming/sorting games to build skills.

2. Learning Disabilities
The term learning disabilities was only founded in
1963 by Samuel Kirk. At that time, children with LD
were referred to by such terms as:
“perceptually handicapped,” “brain-injured,” and
“neurologically impaired”
were served in classrooms for students with MR or in
most cases, were not receiving any specialized
services in the public schools.
3. Definition by Learning Disability under
IDEA (individuals with disabilities act)
LEARNING DISABILITY:
(1) A disorder in the processing of information involved
in understanding and using language (spoken or written)
(2) Difficulties in learning, particularly reading, writing,
mathematics, and/or spelling
(3) The problem is not primarily due to other causes
(4) Special educational services needed to succeed in
school
**Severe discrepancy between potential and achievement
4. Processing of Information
Information processing refers to how the brain:
Takes in information,
Uses information,
Stores the information in memory,
Retrieves the information from memory,
and Expresses the information
5. Visual and Auditory Processing
Disorders
Visual and auditory processing are the processes of
recognizing and interpreting information taken in
through the senses of sight and sound.
The terms, "visual and auditory processing" and "visual
and auditory perception", are often used
interchangeably.
Although there are many types of perception, the two
most common areas of difficulty involved with a
learning disability are visual and auditory perception.
6. Cont..
Other terms which refer to the same set of disorders
include
visual or auditory perceptual disorders,
visual or auditory processing deficits,
central auditory processing disorders,
and other similar combinations of these terms.
7. Visual processing disorder
A visual processing, or perceptual, disorder refers to “a
hindered ability to make sense of information taken in
through the eyes”.
This is different from problems involving sight or
sharpness of vision.
Difficulties with visual processing affect how visual
information is interpreted, or processed by the brain.
8. Common Visual Processing
Disorders
The common abnormalities of visual processing
involves
Visual Discrimination
Visual Figure-Ground Discrimination
Visual Sequencing
Visual Motor Processing
Visual Memory
Visual Closure
Spatial Relationships
9. Visual Discrimination: Using the sense of sight to notice
and compare the features of different items to
distinguish one item from another
Difficulties Observed
Seeing the difference between two similar letters, shapes
or objects
Noticing the similarities and differences between certain
colors, shapes and patterns
Types of Helpful Strategies:
Clearly space words/problems on a page
Anticipate confusions and point out examples of correct
responses
10. Visual Figure-Ground Discrimination:
Discriminating a shape or printed character from its
background
Difficulties Observed
Finding a specific bit of information on a printed page
full of words and numbers
Seeing an image within a competing background
Types of Helpful Strategies:
Practice with 'find the item' challenges, such as
"Where's Waldo?"
Use an index card or marker when reading to blot out
distraction of other words
Highlight useful information while reading
11. Visual Sequencing: The ability to see and distinguish
the order of symbols, words or images
Difficulties Observed
Using a separate answer sheet
Staying in the right place while reading a paragraph.
Example: skipping lines, reading the same line over
and over
Reversing or misreading letters, numbers and words
Understanding math equations
Types of Helpful Strategies:
Combine reading with oral presentation.
Color code written instruction
12. Visual Motor Processing: Using feedback from the eyes
to coordinate the movement of other parts of the body
Difficulties Observed
Writing within lines or margins of a piece of paper
Copying from a board or book
Moving around without bumping into things
Participating in sports that require well-timed and
precise movements in space
Types of Helpful Strategies:
Allow use of a computer and tape recorder
Substitute oral reports for written ones
Provide a "note buddy" to check that topic notes are
clear and well-organized
13. Visual Memory: There are two kinds of visual memory:
Long-term visual memory is the ability to recall
something seen some time ago
Short-term visual memory is the ability to remember
something seen very recently
Difficulties Observed
Remembering the spelling of familiar words with
irregular spelling
Reading comprehension
Using a calculator or keyboard with speed and accuracy
Remembering phone numbers
Types of Helpful Strategies:
Provide handouts that are clearly written.
Provide oral instruction to reinforce written directions
14. Visual Closure: The ability to know what an object is
when only parts of it are visible
Recognizing a picture of a familiar object from a partial
image. Example: A truck without its wheels
Identifying a word with a letter missing
Recognizing a face when one feature (such as the nose)
is missing
Types of Helpful Strategies:
Practice with jigsaw puzzles and rebus-type games
15. Spatial Relationships: The ability to understand how
objects are positioned in space in relation to oneself.
This involves the understanding of distance (near or far),
as well as the relationship of objects and characters
described on paper or in a spoken narrative
Difficulties Observed
Getting from one place to another
Spacing letters and words on paper
Judging time
Reading maps
16. Types of Helpful Strategies:
Practice estimating distance with ball games and using
a tape measure
Create maps and travel logs
Practice social skills that focus on judging appropriate
physical proximity to others

18. What I did last summer
My friend Robbie bought a dog from the pet shop for $148.
His parents gave him the money but said that he would have to
pay half to them over the summer by doing special chores
around the yard.
He figured he could repay his parents 74 dollars.
Later that day, I came over to share his excitement.
With the dog’s big ears and wagging tail, we played all day.
Robbie chose a blue collar for him.
The 3 of us passed our summer days bike riding, hiking, and
playing ball.

20. 1. Auditory Processing
Auditory Processing- involves how well a student
can use auditory information.
When he hears something, especially something
detailed, does he understand it quickly and easily?
Can he “hear" things (like sounds, numbers, words,
etc.) in his head? Can he remember information that
he hears?
21. APD is a difficulty in the way auditory information
is processed. It is not a sensory (inner ear) hearing
impairment. ... APD is a term that describes a variety
of listeningproblems that can interfere with
the processing of auditory information.
22. Common areas of difficulty and some educational
implications:
Phonological awareness :understanding that
language is made up of individual sounds (phonemes)
which are put together to form the words we write and
speak.
Abnormality: unable to recognize or isolate the
individual sounds in a word, recognize similarities
between words (as in rhyming words), or be able to
identify the number of sounds in a word.
Interventions: Though phonological awareness develops
naturally in most children, the necessary knowledge
and skills can be taught through direct instruction for
those who have difficulty in this area.
23. Auditory discrimination
Auditory discrimination is the ability to recognize
differences in phonemes (sounds). This includes the
ability to identify words and sounds that are similar and
those which are different.
Auditory memory
Auditory memory is the ability to store and recall
information which was given verbally. An individual
with difficulties in this area may not be able to follow
instructions given verbally or may have trouble recalling
information from a story read aloud.
24. Auditory sequencing
Auditory sequencing is the ability to remember or
reconstruct the order of items in a list or the order of
sounds in a word or syllable. One example is saying or
writing "ephelant" for "elephant."
Auditory blending
Auditory blending is the process of putting together
phonemes to form words. For example, the individual
phonemes "c", "a", and "t" are blended to from the
word, "cat".
25. Interventions
If instructions are given orally, try to supplement this
with written or other visual cues.
A simple accommodation like backing up verbal
directions with visual or written cues is one way to
facilitate this.
Simplifying verbal directions, slowing the rate of
speech, and minimalizing distractions
Rhyming games, Sorting games can help build
auditory memory.
Learning materials should easily accessible, well
organized and stored in the same place each day
26. Cont…
Make sure that the child's desk is free from all
unnecessary materials.
Try to separate him from students who may be
distracting.
