LEARNINGLEARNINGOBJECTIVESOBJECTIVES

The Learning Process

• Step 1: Input of Information• Step 2: Organization of

Information• Step 3: Expression of

Information

Six modalities or channels through which information is received:

1. Auditory Modality

2. Visual Modality

3. Tactile Modality

4. Kinesthetic Modality

5. Gustatory Modality

6. Olfactory Modality

Multisensory Approaches

• The input of information through a variety of receptive mechanisms, i.e., seeing, hearing, touching, etc.

Processes that comprise thelearning process

• Reception• Perception• Association or organization• Memory• Expression

THE PURPOSE OF PERCEPTUAL EVALUATIONS

• To help determine the child’s stronger and weaker modality for learning

• To help determine a child’s stronger and weaker process areas

• To develop a learning profile• To help determine if the child’s learning

process deficits are suitable for a regular class

VISUAL PERCEPTION

• Visual coordination• Visual discrimination• Visual association• Visual long-term memory• Visual short-term memory• Visual sequential memory

• Visual vocal expression• Visual motoric expression• Visual figure ground

discrimination• Visual spatial

relationships• Visual form perception

Diagnostic Symptoms for Visual Perceptual Disabilities

• General Visual Perceptual Problems• Visual-Receptive Process Disability• Visual-Association Disability• Manual-Expressive Disability• Visual-Memory Disability

VISUAL PERCEPTION ASSESSMENT

• Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration- 4th Edition (VMI-4)

• Test of Gross Motor Development- 2nd Edition (TGMD-2)

• Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test (BVMGT)• Marianne Frostig Developmental Test of Visual

Perception (DTVP)• Developmental Test of Visual Perception- 2 (DTVP-2)• Motor-Free Perceptual Test- Revised (MVPT-R)

AUDITORY PERCEPTION

• Auditory discrimination• Auditory association• Auditory long-term memory• Auditory short-term memory• Auditory sequential memory• Auditory vocal expression• Auditory motoric expression

Diagnostic Symptoms for Auditory Perceptual Disabilities

• General Auditory Perceptual Indicators• Auditory Receptive Process Disability• Auditory Association Disability• Verbal Expressive Disability• Auditory Memory Disability

AUDITORY PERCEPTION ASSESSMENT

• Goldman-Fristoe-Woodcock Test of Auditory Discrimination (G-F-WTAD)

• Lindamood Auditory Conceptualization Test (LACT)

• Test of Auditory Perceptual Skills- Revised (TAPS-R)

• Wepman Test of Auditory Discrimination, 2nd Edition (ADT-2)

Comprehensive Measures of Perceptual Abilities

• Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency• Detroit Tests of Learning Aptitudes- Fourth

Edition (DTLA-4)• Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA)• Slingerland Screening Tests for Identifying

Children with Specific Disability
