Vision Problems Can Be Learning Problems! |
Too many children struggle in school with hidden vision problems that prevent their eyes from working together efficiently, or interfere with the brain's ability to make sense of what their eyes see. Is your child visually ready to learn? |
Our eyes serve as a major information highway to the brain. As much as 80% of what kids learn comes through their eyes. However, when vision problems interfere with how clearly and easily a child sees, learning can suffer. Children learn to see, just like they learn to walk and talk. Learning vision skills is a vital part of normal child development. For most children, the process of "learning to see" goes well. But some may miss key developmental milestones or experience eye or vision problems. This can interfere with the development of vision skills needed for reading and learning. SeeingSmarter provides information and insights to help children of all ages gain the vision skills they need to succeed in school and in life. You can learn to recognize, understand, and respond to vision problems that may be affecting how your child sees and learns. |
These 3 Simple Eye Exercises Can Help Your Child See Better Using these eye exercises can improve eye focusing, eye teaming, and eye tracking skills, in just a few minutes each day. |
Is Your Child's Vision Developing Normally? Some children have difficulty using their eyes together, moving them easily along the lines of print in a book, or keeping things they see in focus. But they probably won't tell you they are having a problem seeing. Often, these vision problems may not become obvious until much later, when a child develops reading or learning problems. That's why early detection and treatment of eye and vision problems are so important to ensure your child is "visually" ready to learn. |
