I am looking back over my DS's neuropsych report because I'm about to start the ARD process at the charter school for a 504. I must have skimmed over this section before, but now I'm curious. This is the part of the report I'm confused with:
"Assessment of DS's visuospatial functioning revealed an area of notable strength in his overall neurocognitive profile. DS demonstrated very superior visuospatial reasoning abilities,l and superior visuo-construction abilities. His performance was above average with respect to his visuospatial discrimination. DS demonstrated average visuomotor integration.
Assessment of DS's sensorimotor functioning revealed generally inconsistent proficiency. DS's performance on measures of bilateral dexterity was generally within normal limits. His performance on measures of bilateral kinesthetic praxis was within the below average range fo functioning. DS's performance on measures of visuomotor precision, however, was in the impaired range of functioning."
I'm guessing the first part is relating to what I'd consider normal 'visual thinking' type stuff - reconstructing shapes easily, that sort of thing. I don't understand the second paragraph at all though. 'Bilateral kinesthetic praxis'? Something to do with being able to move both sides of his body? And visuomotor precision - this I can't figure out at all!
If any of you lovely folks know what these words mean, please share!
