Autism & Sensory Processing Disorder Evaluation

What We Evaluate

Our comprehensive neuro-visual evaluations may assess:

  • Eye teaming & tracking

  • Visual processing

  • Peripheral awareness

  • Spatial awareness

  • Visual attention

  • Visual-motor integration

  • Coordination between vision and movement

  • Balance & visual-vestibular integration

  • Functional visual fields

  • Depth perception

  • Visual comfort during real-world tasks


Our goal is to better understand how visual function may be contributing to sensory, movement, attention, or daily functional challenges.

Who May Benefit From an Evaluation?

We work with children and adults experiencing:

  • Autism spectrum disorder

  • Sensory processing challenges

  • Visual overwhelm

  • Coordination difficulties

  • Difficulty navigating busy environments

  • Delays in visual-motor skills

  • Attention challenges

  • Motion sensitivity

  • Balance difficulties

  • Functional visual concerns impacting daily life


Every individual presents differently, which is why evaluations and recommendations are highly individualized.

Our Approach

At Neuro Vision & Rehabilitation Center of Northern California, we take a compassionate, root-cause approach to care.

We look beyond eyesight alone to evaluate how vision integrates with:

  • Sensory processing

  • Movement

  • Attention

  • Regulation

  • Coordination

  • Balance

  • Neurological function


Following the evaluation, recommendations may include:

  • Vision therapy

  • Neuro-optometric rehabilitation

  • Visual-motor support

  • Home-based activities

  • Environmental modifications

  • Collaborative care with occupational therapy and other providers


Our goal is to support more efficient visual processing, improved comfort, and better functional integration into daily life.

A Collaborative & Supportive Environment

We understand that every child and adult experiences the world differently.

Our office strives to create a supportive, individualized environment where patients feel safe, understood, and cared for throughout the evaluation and treatment process.

We frequently collaborate with:

  • Occupational therapists

  • Speech therapists

  • Educational specialists

  • Physical therapists

  • Neurological providers

  • Other members of the patient’s care team

Schedule an Evaluation

If sensory processing challenges, visual overwhelm, coordination difficulties, or functional vision concerns are impacting daily life, a comprehensive neuro-visual evaluation may help uncover underlying visual contributions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can vision problems contribute to sensory overwhelm?

Yes. Difficulty processing visual information efficiently can place additional stress on the nervous system and contribute to visual overwhelm and fatigue.

Do you diagnose autism?

No. Our evaluations focus specifically on visual function, visualprocessing, and neuro-visual integration.

How is this different from a routine eye exam?

Routine eye exams primarily assess eyesight clarity and eye health. Our evaluations assess how the visual system functions during real-world tasks involving attention, movement, balance, and processing.

Do you work with both children and adults?

Yes. We evaluate and treat both pediatric and adult patients.

What happens after the evaluation?

We review findings and provide individualized recommendations based on the patient’s needs, goals, and functional challenges.
