Are you affected or a caregiver looking for support and networking opportunities? Are you wondering if you, as parents, also have a Affolter Course can visit? Do you want to know more about perception and its impairment? Do you feel that your perception or that of your family member is impaired? What does that even mean?
Individuals with a perceptual disorder have limited ability to adequately search for and process information. They may only recognize fragmented pieces of information in a situation and not categorize them correctly. The behavior of other people is often not understood. Tasks outside their familiar framework can present significant difficulties and can lead to challenging behavior or withdrawal from the situation. A perceptual disorder is not an independent diagnosis but is often associated with various diagnoses (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder ASD, language and behavioral development disorders, acquired brain injury, multiple disabilities).
We support family members and those affected in managing their everyday lives better. Our counseling is personalized and practical, taking place by phone or in person, depending on your needs. Depending on the issue, we connect you with a suitable point of contact and, thanks to our network, help you find an appropriate specialist in your area. Additionally, we offer family members and parents of people with perceptual impairments the opportunity to, sharing your experiences with others.
