Auditory and Visual Processing DisordersOften in the classroom, as well as at home, children learn through visual and auditory perception. Visual and auditory processing is a key way to learn; they are used to recognize and interpret information from the two senses, hearing and sight. It is therefore clearly understood that this disorder can make learning through vision and hearing a little more difficult and annoying, but certainly not impossible. Visual processing disorder, also known as perceptual disorder, is defined as “an impaired ability to make meaning.” information is captured by the eyes.

This can make reading and math difficult to understand, because both subjects deal with a lot of symbols like numbers and punctuation marks. However, most problems often arise in mathematics. In order to succeed in mathematics, a person with this learning disability must learn to associate the number or sign by establishing a common relationship between them. Visual discrimination involves “using the sense of sight to notice and compare the characteristics of different items in order to distinguish one. element of another" (NCLD editorial team, 2014) http://www.ncld.o...... middle of paper ...... positive and strengthening the child's self-esteem, so that he does not give up on themselves. (Nemours Foundation 1995-2014) The cause of visual and auditory processing disorders is multiple. A combination of genetic factors, environmental stressors, trauma, and neurochemical imbalances are likely why these children are suffering. If the cause is multiple, the care of these children should also be. A program designed to balance body chemistry with quality nutrition, environmental stress with a safe environment, and traumatic brain issues with appropriate medical evaluation and treatment. Teachers and psychology professionals must work together to implement and modify learning strategies as needed, individually with each child. It may not be profitable or easy, but it is the right thing to do to unlock the full potential of these young people..
