L'ouvrage La vision est à la fois l'un de nos meilleurs outils pour explorer notre environnement et un ressort capital des apprentissages. Souvent masqués, ne se révélant alors que par des troubles des apprentissages, les dysfonctionnements neurovisuels sont complexes et pluriels, pouvant concerner l'attention visuelle ou visuo-spatiale, les stratégies d'exploration visuelle, l'organisation visuo-spatiale du geste ou encore l'interprétation des images rétiniennes (gnosies). Cet ouvrage aborde ainsi en trois temps les liens entre neurovision et troubles des apprentissages chez l'enfant : • l'analyse du message visuel à partir du chiasma optique, la description des voies empruntées et des connexions cérébrales ; • les méthodes d'exploration des fonctions visuelles et neurovisuelles ainsi que l'interprétation des bilans spécifiques ; • l'impact de ces troubles dans les apprentissages scolaires (dyslexies/dysorthographies, dyspraxies, dyscalculies), les caractéristiques de leurs manifestations cliniques, ainsi que les principales stratégies d'aide pour un accompagnement efficace des jeunes concernés. Le public L'objectif est ici de proposer aux psychologues-neuropsychologues, médecins (pédiatres et médecins traitants, médecins scolaires, médecins des PCO, des CRTLA, de la MDPH), rééducateurs (orthophonistes, ergothérapeutes, psychomotriciens et orthoptistes), les données qui leur permettront de comprendre et prendre en charge les troubles neurovisuels dans le cadre plus large des troubles neurodéveloppementaux.

At the age of 19, Ian Waterman was suddenly struck down at work by a rare neurological illness that deprived him of all sensation below the neck. He fell on the floor in a heap, unable to stand or control his limbs, having lost the sense of joint position and proprioception, of that "sixth sense" of his body in space, which we all take for granted. After months in a neurological ward he was judged incurable and condemned to a life of wheelchair dependence. This is the first U.S. publication of a remarkable book by his physician, Jonathan Cole. It tells the compelling story, including a clear clinical description of a rare condition, of how Waterman reclaimed a life of full mobility against all expectations, by mental effort and sheer courage. Cole describes how Waterman gradually adapted to his strange condition. As the doctors had predicted, there was no neurological recovery. He had to monitor every movement by sight to work out where his limbs were, since he had no feedback from his peripheral nerves. But with astonishing persistence Waterman developed elaborate tricks and strategies to control his movements, enabling him to cope not only with the day-to-day problems of living, but even with the challenges of work, love, and marriage.

The U.S. population is aging, and occupational therapy practitioners working with older adults must have the skills to address multiple health issues, including vision loss. Although typical aging does not cause low vision, four major causes of vision impairment are directly related to the aging process: (1) age-related macular degeneration (AMD), (2) diabetic retinopathy, (3) glaucoma, and (4) cataracts. Instances of these impairments are expected to double by the year 2050, making low vision a significant public health issue. This Practice Guideline includes occupational therapy assessment and intervention guidelines for older adults who have visual acuity impairments, visual field impairments, or both as a result of a low vision diagnosis. Screening, referral, and evaluation are covered for clients for central visual field impairments, such as AMD and cataract; peripheral field impairments, such as glaucoma, hemianopsia, and quadrantanopsia; and mixed visual field loss, such as diabetic retinopathy. This work can help occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants, as well as individuals who manage, reimburse, or set policy regarding occupational therapy services, understand the contribution of occupational therapy to treating older adults with low vision. Appendixes include selected diagnostic and billing codes and evidence tables.

What is like to live without touch or movement/position sense (proprioception)? The only way to understand the importance of these senses, so familiar we cannot imagine their absence, is to ask someone in that position. Ian Waterman lost them below the neck over forty years ago, though pain and temperature perception and his peripheral movement nerves were unaffected. Without proprioceptive feedback and touch the movement brain was disabled. Completely unable to move, he felt disembodied and frightened. Then, slowly, he taught himself to dress, eat and walk by thinking about each movement and with visual supervision. In Losing Touch, the narrative moves between biography and scientific research, theatre, documentary and zero gravity. He has been married three times, and built up successful careers in disability access audit, using his impairment to his advantage, and in rare turkey breeding and journalism. The neuroscience has led to data on movement without feedback, the pleasantness of touch, gesture, pain and body orientation in space. The account shows how the science was actually done but also reveals Ian's journey from passive subject to informed critic of science and scientists and that the science has given him both more understanding but also greater confidence personally. His unique response to such a rare condition has also led to a BBC documentary, theatrical portrayals and a weightless flight with NASA. As a young man he sought triumph over his impairment; now, nearly 65, he has more mature reflections on living with such an extraordinary loss, the limits it has imposed and the opportunities it has enabled. He gives his views on scientists and on others he has met including Oliver Sacks and Peter Brook. In an Afterword those from science, the arts and philosophy give an appreciation of his contribution. The book is the result of nearly 30 years close collaboration between author and subject.

This book is divided into five sections dealing with various fundamental issues in current research: attention, information processing and eye movement control; the role of phonology in reading; syntax and discourse processing and computational models and simulations. Control and measurement of eye movements form a prominent theme in the book. A full understanding of the where and when of eye movement control is a prerequisite of any complete theory of reading, since it is precisely at this point that perceptual and cognitive processes interact. Amongst the 'hot topics' included are the relation between parafoveal and foveal visual processing of linguistic information, the role of phonology in fluent reading and the emergence of statistical 'tuning' approaches to sentence parsing.Also discussed in the book are three attempts to develop quantitative models of reading which represent a significant departure in theory-building and a quantum step in the maturation of reading research. Much of the work reported in the book was first presented at the 5th European Workshop on Language Comprehension organised in April 1998 which was held at the CNRS Luminy Campus, near Marseilles. All contributions summarise the state-of-the-art in the relevant areas of reading research.

This special issue of Visual Cognition features empirical and theoretical contributions by leading research scholars in the field. The volume begins with a general introduction and an authoritative review of work on spatial attention in the flankers task. Next, a series of empirical articles reports important new findings on visual selection by spatial location. A second section contrasts by presenting recent empirical findings on visual selection by other criteria. Finally, four articles present major theoretical statements on aspects of visual attention. As a whole, the issue forms a substantial contribution to the literature on visual selective attention.

Les chemins qu’empruntent les enfants pour apprendre gardent toujours une part de mystère et réservent nombre de surprises, le plus souvent fort agréables. Lorsque des embûches se présentent, lorsque l’enfant peine pour apprendre, les parents, l’entourage familial ou éducatif au sens large ainsi que les enseignants, sont bien souvent pris au dépourvu. L’appel aux professionnels de santé est devenu un recours incontournable, dès que des « difficultés d’apprentissage » sont repérées chez un enfant. Écouter, observer... pour pouvoir aider au mieux, voici le défi auquel sont confrontés les soignants en collaboration avec la famille et l’équipe enseignante. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage – pédopsychiatres, psychologues, orthophonistes – s’appuient sur une longue expérience clinique de consultation hospitalière spécialisée dédiée aux troubles du langage et des apprentissages chez l’enfant (centre référent). L’enjeu d’un bilan pluridisciplinaire réalisé dans ce cadre est de proposer une analyse approfondie des difficultés, et de dégager, à partir des observations recueillies, des points d’appui et des leviers afin d’orienter les actions thérapeutiques et les remédiations dont pourra bénéficier l’enfant en difficulté. Les nombreuses vignettes cliniques décrivant le parcours des enfants au sein de ce centre référent ainsi que la description des outils de travail clinique utilisés, feront partager au lecteur l’expérience quotidienne de l’équipe d’auteurs cliniciens. Largement illustré par des cas cliniques évocateurs, ce livre intéressera tous les acteurs du soin – équipes de proximité (CMP, CMPP, SESSAD... ), équipes hospitalières spécialisées et praticiens libéraux (orthophonistes, psychologues, psychomotriciens, ergothérapeutes, psychopédagogues, pédiatres, pédopsychiatres, neuropédiatres...) – ainsi que les acteurs des champs pédagogique, éducatif et associatif, engagés auprès des enfants, sans oublier les familles.

Cet ouvrage rassemble, en un volume dense et richement illustré, toute la symptomatologie des troubles cognitifs chez l'enfant, quelle qu'en soit l'origine. Il aborde en effet les troubles neuro-développementaux chez l'enfant d'âge scolaire tels que : les dysphasies, les troubles de la mémoire, les déficits visuo-spatiaux, les dyspraxies et troubles des fonctions exécutives (tels le syndrome frontal). L'auteur propose pour finir un chapitre exhaustif sur les troubles spécifiques des apprentissages fondamentaux (lecture/écriture et calcul), établissant un lien indispensable avec les difficultés scolaires de ces enfants. Pour chaque pathologie, la description des symptômes et tableaux cliniques donne des outils diagnostiques pratiques et permet d'orienter les choix thérapeutiques et de définir les principaux axes rééducatifs et adaptations pédagogiques. De nombreux renvois permettent une lecture transversale que justifient la complexité et l'intrication des troubles cognitifs chez l'enfant. Il est destiné à tous les intervenants auprès de l'enfant : rééducateurs : personnels des Rased (réseaux d'aide aux élèves en difficulté), orthophonistes libérales qui reçoivent souvent ces enfants en première intention, psychomotriciens, ergothérapeutes, et même orthoptistes ou kinésithérapeutes soucieux de mieux comprendre la symptomatologie de l'enfant ; psychologues : psychologues scolaires, psychologues cliniciens, neuropsychologues ; médecins : pédiatres, médecins scolaires, neuropédiatres et, de plus en plus, pédopsychiatres ; équipes des CAMSP, SESSD et SESSAD, qui assurent souvent le suivi des enfants qui ont séjourné en néonatalogie ; et, d'une façon générale, à tous ceux qui s'intéressent au développement intellectuel de l'enfant, aux troubles d'apprentissage et aux difficultés scolaires qui en découlent.
