This text brings together findings from the neuropsychological, neurooptometric, neurolinguistic, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology literature on acquired visual system impairment from the past 20+ years, and the ways visual system dysfunction impacts reading, writing, and cognition. Chapters Include: - Review of structural elements of the eye, the cortical and subcortical structures of the visual brain, and the motor and sensory components of normal vision - The distinct functions of the three primary visual pathways (central, peripheral and retinotectal) and how they relate to reading and writing - Review of five formal tests of reading and writing that are designed or may be adapted to assess peripheral reading and writing disorders - And much more!"-- ER -
