Is your child struggling to learn how to read and at risk of being held back? Did you know a vision problem could exist even with 20/20 vision far away?
You're invited to participate in a discussion with developmental optometrist, Dr. Neil Renaud, about learning-related vision problems and the impact they could be having on your child's ability to read and learn. Did you know 1 in 4 children has a learning-related vision problem affecting their near vision, even if they see 20/20 far away and pass a standard vision screening?
In many cases kids struggling with a visual dysfunction don't know it's a problem since they've always seen this way and assume everyone else sees the way they do. They'll feel they must not be as smart as their peers and lack any confidence which often leads to behavioral concerns, falling behind in academics and avoidance of near-work such as reading.
Signs VISION could be interfering with reading:
•Skips or repeats words/lines
•Must re-read for comprehension
•Rubs eyes frequently
•Headaches, eyestrain, and fatigue with reading
•Excessive time required to complete reading and assignments
If your child's teacher is concerned about their reading level and has made recommendations, we encourage you to attend this workshop. You'll have the opportunity to discuss your concerns with Dr. Neil Renaud to see if vision is part of the learning problem, and steps toward improving and becoming a visual learner.
