Comprehension Test
This is used prior to using the Moving Windows section of
the program to find the best level and speed settings to
establish just the right degree of challenge. Graded
stories are available to help establish the highest reading level
at which at least a score of 70% can be achieved. |
Visual Memory
Visual memory activities are a
staple of many programs that address visually related
learning problems. Here the program presents sequences
of patterns shapes that are to be remembered. |
Reaction Time
This module shows arrows on the
screen and records how quickly the person responds to the
stimulus. It also keeps track of any errors and
reports the percentage correct and average response time.
This is excellent for working with athletes. |
Moving Windows
This was the first section of
the program developed. It allows you to select from a
group of graded stories and to then have the patient do
guided reading. In guided reading a window moves from
left to right and from line to line in the reading
passage to facilitate patterning of more mature eye movement
scan patterns. This has been shown to greatly help the
transfer of newly learned visual abilities to real-world
reading. |
Randot Duction
Random dot stereogram patterns
using the anaglyphic glasses are used to present Base In and
Base Out demands in a stair step pattern. You select which
type (base in or base out) is worked in each session.
Each time the person responds correctly the demand increases
one step. For each error it backs up two steps,
allowing the person to seek their highest levels without
getting overly frustrated. |
Binocular Reading
For years the only way to allow
the patient to monitor their use of both channels during
binocular accommodative rock procedures was to use either
vectographic or anaglyphic overlays, which required lots of
light and was difficult for some. Here the chosen text
is presented with some letters seen only by the right eye,
some seen only by the left and some by both eyes. The
patterns are jumbled up making it easier to truly monitor
binocularity. |
Recognition
Visual memory activities are a
staple of many programs that address visually related
learning problems. Here you can present single words
or multiple word phrases at various intervals.
|
See
Three Pictures
See Three Pictures is similar
to many "overlapping" pictures types of activities.
Here you can change the separation of the chosen targets
manually to alter the demands. Each figure has
suppression controls |
Tennis
The tennis module resembles the
old Pong game. The patient controls a paddle on the
sides of the screen that is used to deflect back the moving
ball. The speed of the game and the size of the
paddles can be modified. In addition, different
elements of the game can be shown in various combinations of
red and blue to be used with the anaglyphic glasses to make
sure the person is using the flow through both channels.
|
Saccades
In the saccades module, arrows
come up on the screen in random positions and in one of four
different orientations (up, down, left or right). The
person is to respond, using the arrow keys on the keyboard,
as quickly as they can. |
Jump
Duction
Random dot stereogram patterns
using the anaglyphic glasses are used to present
alternating Base In and Base Out demands in a stair step
pattern. Each time the person responds correctly, the
demand increases one step. For each error it backs up
two steps, allowing the person to seek their highest levels
without getting overly frustrated. |
Metronome
The metronome can be used in conjunction with many other
activities to help acquire an internal sense of timing from
which rhythm emerges, which sets the stage for better motor
planning and execution. |
Track Letters
This section allows you to
generate and print the classic Ann Arbor Tracking (sometimes
called Michigan Tracking) types of pages that your patient
can practice with. Here the alphabet is embedded in a
series of non-sense words. You can modify the size and
spacing of the printouts as well as adding additional
distracter symbols to make the task more challenging. |
Peripheral Vision
This activity challenges
divided attention and works on expanding the useful field of view.
The patient is given a central task to call out the numbers
flashed there while responded with the keyboard to the
direction of the arrows presented in the periphery. |
Hart
Chart
Produce custom Hart Charts of any size and spacing of
letters on the fly. This is great if you have patients
memorizing the chart or if you want to alter the visual
demand by changing the number of letters per line, the
spacing of the lines, or even the number of rows or columns.
You can also add in numbers or upper and lower case letters. |
