Assessment of Perceptual Abilities

1. Assessment of Perceptual Abilities Chapter Eleven

2. CHAPTER OBJECTIVES UNDERSTAND • The purpose of perceptual evaluations • Assessment of visual perception • Auditory perception • Assessment of auditory perception • Comprehensive measures of perceptual abilities

3. LEARNINGOBJECTIVES

4. The Learning Process • Step 1: Input of Information • Step 2: Organization of Information • Step 3: Expression of Information

5. Six modalities or channels through which information is received: • Auditory Modality • Visual Modality • Tactile Modality • Kinesthetic Modality • Gustatory Modality • Olfactory Modality

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

7. Processes that comprise thelearning process • Reception • Perception • Association or organization • Memory • Expression

8. 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

9. 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 VISUAL PERCEPTION

10. Diagnostic Symptoms for Visual Perceptual Disabilities • General Visual Perceptual Problems • Visual-Receptive Process Disability • Visual-Association Disability • Manual-Expressive Disability • Visual-Memory Disability

11. 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)

12. AUDITORY PERCEPTION • Auditory discrimination • Auditory association • Auditory long-term memory • Auditory short-term memory • Auditory sequential memory • Auditory vocal expression • Auditory motoric expression

13. Diagnostic Symptoms for Auditory Perceptual Disabilities • General Auditory Perceptual Indicators • Auditory Receptive Process Disability • Auditory Association Disability • Verbal Expressive Disability • Auditory Memory Disability

14. 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)

15. 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

16. CHAPTER OBJECTIVES UNDERSTAND • The purpose of perceptual evaluations • Assessment of visual perception • Auditory perception • Assessment of auditory perception • Comprehensive measures of perceptual abilities
