Visual perception disorders are disorders of visual analysis and synthesis, disorders of the perception and differentiation of shapes, registration of the spatial position of elements.
Children with impaired visual perception have difficulties in recognising and naming objects in illustrations, in understanding content presented graphically, describe illustrations in a poor way, recognise a small number of details, have problems with drawing and with reproducing shapes from memory and according to a model, and their drawings are poor and primitive, simplified and lacking in detail. These children have difficulties especially in transcribing text from a model, in writing from memory. They confuse letters that are similar in shape (l-t-l, a-o, a-ą, c-e) that are similar but differ in their position in relation to the vertical and horizontal axes (b-d-p-g, w-m, n-u) they have difficulty in remembering the shape of letters they omit diacritics of letters, they reverse the order of letters in word groups (tar-rat-tra), letters are uneven, they go outside the lines, the pace of writing is slow, often the same words written incorrectly and correctly next to each other.
