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.
