Network-based method and system for sensory/perceptual skills assessment and training
First Claim
1. A method for assessing and treating a sensory/perceptual skills deficiency, comprising:
- evaluating subjects'"'"' skills in a particular sensory/perceptual field;
referring subjects to training based on said evaluation;
using an interactive network-based training module to improve the skills of the referred subjects in said particular sensory/perceptual field;
generating training data from the use of said network-based training module by said referred subjects; and
uploading said training data to a centralized, network-accessible database.

Abstract
A method and system for assessment and training of sensory/perceptual deficiencies is disclosed. The present invention includes: (i) an assessment module or system, (ii) training modules, (iii) a centralized database for storing assessment, training, and other data, and (iv) a feedback mechanism for parents, teachers and doctors that allows immediate input regarding either a particular person'"'"'s data or a group (e.g., class) analysis. The training modules and database can be accessed via the internet or other network, thereby allowing training to occur at times and places that are convenient for the subject. Clinicians, researchers, and educators can conveniently access the database through the internet or another network connection. With convenient access to assessment and training data, clinicians can more easily treat their patients, and researchers can use the database as a resource to help determine the causes and best treatment protocols for sensory/perceptual deficiencies such as Visual Inefficiency Syndrome.

15. A system for the assessment and training of sensory/perceptual skills, comprising:
-
an assessment module for determining whether a subject has a deficiency in a particular set of sensory/perceptual skills;
an interactive, network-based training module for training said subject to improve said particular set of sensory/perceptual skills;
a centralized, remotely-accessible database for receiving data from said assessment module and said training module. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A method for assessing and improving a subject'"'"'s visual skills of saccadic accuracy, vergence, and accommodation, comprising:
-
evaluating the subject'"'"'s saccadic accuracy, vergence, and accommodation skills;
developing a visual skills score for the subject based on the evaluation of the subject'"'"'s saccadic accuracy, vergence, and accommodation skills;
uploading the subject'"'"'s biographic data and visual skills score to a centralized, remotely accessible database;
referring the subject to training when the score exceeds a threshold;
improving the subject'"'"'s saccadic accuracy, vergence, and accommodation skills using a series of interactive, internet-based training modules;
generating training data based on the subject'"'"'s progress in using said training modules;
uploading said training data to said database; and
making said database available over the internet to researchers and clinicians. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
