Many autistic children have difficulty attending to their visual environment and/or perceiving themselves in relation to their surroundings. These problems have been associated with a short attention span, being easily distracted, excessive eye movements, difficulty scanning or tracking movements, inability to catch a ball, being cautious when walking up or down stairs, bumping into furniture, and even toe walking ).
Autistic children display many of the symptoms associated with vestibular involvement. Although many autistic children cannot verbally describe how they feel, it becomes quite apparent from their actions and in performance in vision and movements. Although their visual system cannot be measured or verbalized in the same manner as other sighted individuals there is a way to observe and change their performance. The Center for Visual Management designed a Non-Verbal Battery which involves pre and post tests utilizing ambient yoked prisms to evaluate their ability to change posture, attention and disposition.
In the visual management of autism, performance enhanced lenses are combined with a developmentally designed sequence of movement procedures for the autistic to experience a revised interaction with their world. The child moves through stages of awareness, attention, and automicity of information processing. The neural system responds by regrouping their synapses. See www.AutisticVision.com
