  • Patent number: 5241332
    Abstract: Visual-perceptual, visual-motor, and cognitive training exercises on scanning boards that are large enough to involve visual scanning and tracking sufficient for head turning and full visual field awareness as required for integrating stimuli from the environment. The boards vary in design incorporating perceptual and cognitive subskills which may be modified to all levels of ability. Specifically, the boards are used with clients in occupational therapy who have visual-perceptual, and visual-motor deficits, i.e., due to cerebral vascular accident, head injury, ocular-motor impairments, and other visual deficits, as well as for special education teachers for instruction of students with learning disabilities impaired by perceptual deficits, cerebral palsy, etc. The boards are coated with a non-glare plastic covering and may be drawn on with various colored water-base, odorless, non-toxic pens, as the boards may be wiped clean and ready to be re-used indefinitely.
