Vision therapy involves targeted procedures to improve visual motor skills like eye movements, binocular coordination, convergence, and accommodation flexibility. It addresses issues such as strabismus and amblyopia. In children with special needs, the capacity to fixate, direct gaze, and focus is vital for recognizing and interacting with their surroundings. 

The interplay between the vestibular system and the visual system, known as the ocular motor reflex, plays a pivotal role in maintaining balance, facilitating smooth walking, and coordinating various activities. Even when your eyes may not register movement, your brain accurately perceives your body's motion as you navigate through space. Activities targeting the vestibular system often indirectly engage the visual system due to their interconnected nature. 

Central and peripheral vision play distinct roles in processing our surroundings. Peripheral vision guides us through space, offering an understanding of the environment, while central vision focuses on detailed information about objects of interest. Effective coordination between these pathways is crucial for obtaining detailed information about objects within a space.

The connection between vision and cognition is notably significant in children with special needs. Perceptual skills, vital for comprehending visual information, play a key role in distinguishing objects, visual memorization, and identifying individual objects within a complex background.

Targeted training of perceptual skills provides diverse opportunities for improvement in understanding, memory, and spatial awareness.
