Visual Impairment Parent Tips

shared by clwisniewski on 17 Nov 21 - No Cached
  • As the term indicates, a visual impairment involves an issue with sight which interferes with a student’s academic pursuits. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) officially defines the category as “an impairment in vision that, even with correction, adversely affects a child’s educational performance. The term includes both partial sight and blindness.”

      We, as teachers, need to remember that these impairments "adversely affect a child's educational performance".
  • Early intervention can help a child strengthen his or her vision. This means that as a parent, you should waste no time if you suspect that your child possesses a visual impairment.

      I recently learned that an eye clinic near me, Brainerd, MN, provides free infancy eye exams to try to allow for early intervention of vision impairments!
  • While the causes vary, there are several common signs which may indicate that a child has a visual impairment. These include:Irregular eye movements (for instance, eyes that don’t move together or that appear unfocused)Unusual habits (such as covering one eye or frequently rubbing eyes)Sitting abnormally close to a television or holding a book close to the face

      This could be helpful information to give parents if they are concerned about their child having vision problems at school, or if they can qualify for help, as well as suggesting they see an optometrist for further evaluation.

  • Challenges in conceptualizing objects occur because the student lacks the vision to process objects the way that his or her classmates do. Sensory learning works well as a solution, according to NICHCY. This strategy helps students with visual impairments conceptualize by allowing them to use their other senses to understand an object.

      Allow visually impaired students opportunities to use their other senses through sensory learning.
