Skeffington’s 4 Circles: A model for Whole Person Vision

Episode 4: Skeffington’s Four Circles – A Model for Whole-Person Vision

In this episode, we step back from charts and checklists to explore a deeper model of how vision really works—through the lens of A.M. Skeffington’s Four Circles.

This simple but profound diagram redefines vision as something much bigger than seeing clearly. Skeffington argued that vision develops where posture, language, attention, and meaning all overlap. It’s not just about what the eyes do—but what the whole person is doing in the act of seeing.

If you’re a parent, therapist, or educator trying to understand how vision ties into behavior, learning, and development—this episode offers a radically helpful framework.

Listen above and see vision from a new perspective.
