This quantitative correlational study explores the role of visual perception in word recognition skills amongst typically developing first graders. The findings revealed that several statistically significant relationships exist between visual perceptual functions and skills recruited for word recognition. School-based occupational therapists should consider the potential impact of visual perceptual skills amongst their students who experience difficulty with learning to read.
About the Speaker
Dr. Ellen Modlin is an Assistant Professor at FIU, assuming this role in 2023 following a 26-year career as a pediatric OT. She is currently exploring the role of visual perception in reading.
