It is therefore vital that the visual aspects of dyslexia are effectively addressed.

Visual closure is the ability to identify a whole shape, form or function from an incomplete visual representation. It underpins children’s ability to spell, read and comprehend texts effectively and at speed. Children with visual closure deficits experience major difficulties in processing incomplete visual information, which, in turn, severely affects their confidence and overall learning performance.
