Do you have patients with a visual tracking problem? Tracking problems are often associated with reading disabilities. Slow reading, dysfluent reading, reversals of letters or words, words running together, poor reading comprehension, poor visual attention, loss of concentration, and inability to complete assignments or tests in a timely fashion. If your patient presents with any of these problems, then the Perceptual Visual Tracking Program (PVT) may be indicated.

The Perceptual Visual Tracking Program (PVT) is designed to address specific tracking deficits that are often found in persons with any of the above problems. Perceptual visual tracking skills are basic to all aspects of reading and other academic areas. Improvement in tracking may accompany improvement in reading, spelling, attention, and speed of processing.

PVT contains a variety of visual tracking procedures. They are game-like in nature so that improvement takes place almost effortlessly. Individuals of all ages from five years up may benefit from PVT. It is a sophisticated yet user-friendly computer application that will run on almost any Windows computer. This program may be used with daily sessions lasting approximately twenty minutes. The program is designed to assign a protocol to help ensure their progress. At the end of each session, the computer will display their results and record their progress for future review.

The PVT program is designed to address many of the visual deficiencies that underlie reading and learning disabilities. These deficiencies include:

→ Ocular Motility

→ Perceptual Visual Tracking

→ Rapid Automatized Naming

→ Visual Attention

→ Speed of Visual Processing

→ Orthographic Processing - Using an efficient and large orthographic (visual identification of words) lexicon is important for fast and automatic word recognition.

→ Fluency of reading - Addressing a level of accuracy and rate where decoding is relatively effortless; where oral reading is smooth and accurate, with correct rhythm, and where attention can be allocated to comprehension.

→ Reversals

Five computer procedures to address visual tracking, including:

→ Matching Targets

→ Moving Box

→ Moving Line

→ Hidden Targets

→ Saccadic Tracking
