If you recognise any of these issues affecting your child, student or yourselves

Through a detailed vision assessment, I will discover which crucial skills of vision are affected.
By recommending a targeted exercise programme and/or glasses I will be able to work with a person to vastly improve their visual system and consequently their learning, self-confidence and happiness.
Please read on for more information and get in touch for a free, no obligation chat so I can help make learning and life easier.
Did you know that a vision problem is often mistaken for a learning one?
80% of our learning at school is vision related.
10-15% of the child population has visual inefficiencies that affect learning.
What is involved in vision?
To get the full visual experience, we need 2 healthy eyes that
- are able to focus at all distances
- work together as a team
- are able to move smoothly in all directions
We also need the brain that
- is able to interpret what the eyes see
- can associate the image with learned experience
- can name what is being seen and
- can react to the accurate interpretation of the image
If there is an underdevelopment or inaccuracy in any of the above points it can significantly impact a person’s ability to learn and achieve.
