How can vision therapy help?

Vision therapy is a highly effective treatment program aimed at strengthening the connections between the eyes and the brain and improving the visual skills.

Each program is tailored to the needs of the individual and includes specific eye exercises, as well as the use of lenses, prisms and other therapeutic tools and techniques to achieve optimal results.

Vision therapy can help a child with ASD to improve their visual processing skills to help them better understand their surroundings and, as a result, feel more safe and secure in their environment. This in turn, will also reduce or even eliminate associated behaviors such as fears and anxiety, and may even help to improve eye contact and verbal skills.

Many vision therapy programs for children with ASD aim to strengthen:

• Central vision

• Peripheral stability

• Efficient eye coordination

• Visuospatial organization

• Visual information processing

What are yoked prism lenses?

Many vision problems result in visuospatial misjudgments, or the way objects and people move in space. This can lead to anxiety and distress in a child with ASD and lead to certain behavioral reactions, such as poor eye contact or looking beyond an object.

For this reason, many vision therapy programs for children with ASD include the use of yoked prism lenses. These lenses ‘trick’ the eyes by subtly moving objects and images to the location in which the brain thinks the image should appear.

Prism lenses are often used to eliminate double vision and improve vision clarity, but can also be effective in improving posture, balance and attention— thus helping a child with ASD feel more secure in their environment.

Vision therapy is an effective program that can help children with ASD see more clearly and comfortably, as well as overcome many associated behaviors rooted in an undetected vision problem.

What is sensory integration therapy?

Sensory integration therapy is designed to help people better handle multiple sensory inputs. It’s usually tailored to individual needs by occupational therapists. For example, an occupational therapist might design and implement an individual program of sensory experiences for an autistic child.

Who is sensory integration therapy for?

Sensory integration therapy is for people who have sensory processing difficulties or difficulties understanding sensory input. This might include autistic children.

What is sensory integration therapy used for?

Sensory integration therapy is used to help children learn to use all their senses together – that is, touch, smell, taste, sight and hearing, as well as senses related to body movement. It’s claimed that this therapy can improve challenging behaviour and repetitive behaviour. This behaviour can be related to difficulties with processing sensory information.

Therapists also sometimes suggest that sensory integration therapy can help with other autism characteristics, like difficulties with play and emotional regulation.
