#19 The Impact of Vision on Learning

Last week (Episode 18) we talked about a number of cognitive areas that work in tandem with visual processing. In this episode, we discuss vision problems and their impact on learning.Vision Problems: Importance of vision screening (must rule out before testing)Symptoms Frequent headaches or eyestrain Blurring of vision (near or far) Avoidance of close work or visually demanding tasks Poor judgment of depth Turning the head left right up or down Cover or close one eye, or favour the vision in one eye Double vision Difficulty following a moving target Dizziness or motion sickness Difficulty changing focus from distance to near and back again Poor hand-eye coordinationAcademic Performance Problems Poor reading comprehension Loss of place, repetition, and/or omission of words while reading - Poor reading comprehension Eye fatigue when reading Words jump around when reading Difficulty copying from one place to another Difficulty concentrating Poor hand-eye coordination and writing Letter and/or word discrimination Difficulty judging sizes and shapesTypical vision problems that can impact learning1.
