Melvin Kaplan Libri

Focusing on the role of vision therapy, this book highlights its importance in treating children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The author, Kaplan, emphasizes that visual dysfunction is often overlooked and can exacerbate common autistic behaviors. He discusses the impact of impaired 'ambient vision' on spatial awareness and coordination, offering practical guidance for identifying visual deficits, selecting appropriate prism lenses, and developing personalized therapy programs. This resource is vital for professionals in optometry, autism education, and parents exploring vision therapy options.

Problems with vision can cause practical, emotional and behavioral difficulties. The author shows how cutting-edge vision therapy techniques can immediately rectify these problems, by looking at the software of the eye to identify the underlying cause, and using visual management programs to ensure permanent results.
