The Connection between Autism and Vision: Hands-on Demonstrations of Therapeutic Techniques (Winter-Rundell HS 063380)

Course overview

People with autism have difficulty processing and responding to information from their senses, including their most dominant sense-the visual system. Autistic people often use visual information inefficiently and have problems coordinating their central and peripheral (ambient) vision. This can also be true, to a lesser extent, of those who have Sensory Processing Disorder and ADHD. Through hands-on demonstrations you will learn therapeutic techniques to help improve central and peripheral vision coordination for better outcomes in clients with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
