Expressive and Receptive Language Problems



It is not uncommon for a child with a visual disorder such as deficient visual dominance or poor eye movement skills to be diagnosed with receptive or expressive language problems. Common symptoms include the inability to properly express oneself and lack of ability to understand advanced verbal instruction.

 

Inadequate visual skills are often associated with language deficiencies because the child tries to memorize the spoken words rather than visually converting spoken word into imagery that is then stored in the brain. As with other academic related problems, a lack of visual skills leads to a slow and inefficient thinking pattern.
