Does anyone here have any experience with visual perception training/therapy? More specifically around visual memory, laterality and visual processing? We are trying to weigh out the cost/benefit at the moment.

I don't know anyone who has done this, and I know nothing about it. Consider this a bump up the board.

I have read a bit about it and from what I understand its is mainly a theory that correcting visual processing is the key to unlocking speech disturbances or language delays. I think it is in its infancy but the idea certainly makes sense. Hopefully someone will post who has tried it.
