Children's Learning Disabilities Can Be Related to Vision Problems
Does Your Child Struggle with Academics? 1 out of 4 children struggle with reading and learning because of undiagnosed vision problems. An estimated over 60% of problem learners have undiagnosed vision problems.
Eye coordination disorders can cause difficulty with standardized test performance. The majority of vision problems that interfere with reading and learning are very treatable.
Symptoms that interfere with reading and learning include:
- Child dislikes reading
- Skips or rereads lines
- Prefers to be read to
- Loses place when reading
- Trouble seeing the board
- Frequent headaches while reading
- Difficulty remembering what has been read
- Difficulty paying attention, ADD, or ADHD
- Number/letter reversals such as "b" and "d"
- Homework takes longer than it should
“Even the most gifted students will struggle academically if they have trouble seeing the board or focusing on a book. A tremendous amount of learning happens visually, so proper vision care is crucial to helping students reach their full potential.” – American Federation of Teachers
