VISION AND LEARNING
Vision affects learning. Vision is much more than seeing 20/20. Did you know that there are over 17 visual skills involved in learning and the ability to see clearly at distance is just one of those measurements?
Has your child’s vision been evaluated comprehensively? If your child is struggling in school, allow us to ensure that their visual skills are not impeding their potential.
If these skills are inefficient then it can have a negative impact on the visual process and can cause difficulty with not just learning but in sports, the workplace and other areas of life. If you or your child are suspected of or has been diagnosed with Dyslexia there may be a visual component that could contribute to the reading difficulties. Recent research has discovered specific areas of the brain dedicated to recognizing words that is fed from the visual parts of the brain.
Visual skills are important in order for efficient learning to take place.
