Even if a child has "20/20" eyesight, they might still encounter vision issues that could hinder their learning and academic performance. Visual acuity, which is the ability to clearly see a wall chart, is only one aspect of overall good vision. Other important visual factors can impact a child's educational experience.
When a child or adult shows signs of performance challenges, the first step is a comprehensive functional evaluation assessing the 17 essential visual skills that enable individuals to process and interpret visual information effectively. This evaluation includes an assessment of binocular vision, sensorimotor function, and visual processing abilities. It measures critical skills like eye coordination, reading fluency, letter recognition, math performance, handwriting, attention, concentration, workplace tasks, and sports performance.
