New: Saccade Control in Dyslexia: Development, Deficits,
Training and Transfer to Reading January 2008: 'Optometry and Vision Development Volume 39, No 1, 2008'
(Official quarterly publication of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development): BackgroundDevelopmental deficits in visual and / or auditory functions may impede the acquisition of scholastic skills and lead to dyslexia, dyscalculia or learning disabilities. In many cases the reasons for these difficulties are unclear. The sense organs (eyes and ears) are normal, but processing of information by the brain may be unreliable. Diagnosis and training in these domains is useful and helps to rectify sensory and optomotor functions in a short period of time. Consequently, the presuppositions for any pedagogic support is beeing improved - in some cases improvements will occur immediately, see studies). Offers
Assessments and diagnosis in visual and auditory processing is also available outside Freiburg in partner practices (BlickMobil is sending trained co-workers across on demand, to convey testings outside Freiburg). For appointments, locations and contacts for `assessment days` in Germany, Switzerland and Austria and more informations about this concept, visit our host BlickMobil, please. There are also other BlickLabors in Germany (Berlin, Bremen, Geldern, Leimen) and outside:

if requested. Existing institutions (such as schools, practices, consultation
facilities) are welcome to contact us and make appointments.
The only requirement is a minimum number of six children to be examined in
sensory and optomotor functions. No fee will be charged from the organizer.
