What is the theory behind the Visual Scanning Worksheet Occupational Therapy?
Vision Scanning is one of the many visual perception skills that are necessary for one’s survival in the real world. It allows individuals to correctly perceive visual information around them to make correct decisions regarding their actions.

This is one of the many areas dealt by occupational therapists with the aim of helping individuals learn necessary skills to become independent in their lives.
