A Gift of Sight: Visual Perception Treatment for
Autistic Children
Autism effects every child differently, so it is difficult
to find the exact treatments your child needs to cope with his
or her symptoms. One thing that effects some autistic children
(though, not all) is problems with visual perception. By using
some standardized methods to help improve visual perception,
you can give your child the ability to see the world more
clearly, making learning and comprehension easier and possibly
curbing some behavior problems as well.
Autistic children mainly have problems with sensory overload
and distortion. These are some of the same problems many people
not suffering from the disorder develop, and so many autism
treatment options have become available. Individuals with
autism often find, however, that the sensory overload of the
world due to light, colors, contrast, shapes, and patterns, is
too much to handle, causing them to act out or shut down in
general. This is sometimes a genetic condition that is simply
enhanced by the autism, so if the child's parents have trouble
with reading or have been otherwise treated for visual
perceptive problems, there is a good chance that the child
needs help as well.
The Irene Method is one effective way to treat visual
perception disorders. This method uses color to create a more
harmonized world. You may have heard of these methods if anyone
has ever suggested using a color filter over the page when
reading to be able to read better and more quickly. This method
is proven to work, and if your autistic child is at the
maturity level of reading, you may want to try these color
filters to see if there is a difference in speed and
comprehension. However, it is more likely that your autistic
child will benefit from color filters during the entire day,
not just when reading. Special glasses have been made using
colored lenses to conquer this problem. Not every autistic
child responds the same way to every color, so it is a process
of trial and error to find out which color is the one blocking
the harmful light. You can also choose to use colored light
bulbs in your home to help autistic individuals with their
visual perception problems.
This method mainly helps autistic children in 4 areas: depth
perception, social interaction, learning, and physical well
being. The colors help the child determine how far he or she is
from an object, and the world becomes more three-dimensional,
helping depth perception. Social interaction also improves
because the autistic child feels as though he or she is in a
calmer world and can more clearly see and interpret facial
expressions. The colors make it possible to learn, especially
when reading, and overall, the autistic child will feel better,
because it helps reduce headaches and dizziness. By testing
this technique and others to help visual perception problems,
you can help your child better cope with the world and his or
her autism.
