Content Description

In today's educational environment, understanding the link between vision and learning is essential. Many children encounter challenges in their academic journey, and these struggles may be related to undiagnosed or unmanaged visual issues. As optometrists, it is crucial to recognize that visual function plays a pivotal role in a child's ability to learn effectively. By becoming aware of how vision issues can impact academic performance, we can take important steps to support children's educational journeys.

Key points covered in the seminar

* Understanding vision function

* Impact of vision in learning: Understanding how various visual functions and perceptual skills can affect reading, writing, spelling, and overall academic achievement.

* Recognizing Visual Challenges: Identifying signs and symptoms that may indicate a child is facing difficulties with their visual skills
