Three Component Model of Vision, Part Three: Visual Information Processing Skills
Understanding and Managing Vision Deficitis, pp 79-94

Abstract
Visual information processing, or visual perception, is an area in which both occupational therapy and optometry are actively involved. The goal of this chapter, therefore, is not to teach occupational therapists how to evaluate visual information processing skills. Most occupational therapists already evaluate and treat such problems. Rather, this chapter is designed to help the occupational therapist better understand the way optometrists think about and evaluate visual information processing skills. I believe that most occupational therapists will recognize some differences as well as similarities between the approach presented in this chapter and their own clinical practice. As we learn more about these differences and similarities, we will be able to work together more effectively for the benefit of our patients.
