Contents:
The difference between vision and eyesight -- What are vision-related learning problems? -- Why haven't I heard about this before? -- But I was told this is a bunch of hooey! -- Sensory overload -- plugged in, overworked, and overwhelmed -- Changing lives -- making a world of difference -- Their future, our future -- A vision for learning.
Summary: There are inestimable numbers of children who are struggling with learning, and compromised in ways most people are unaware of, because these little-known visual skills are not functioning properly. This can profoundly impact a child's success in school, and in life. The symptoms of an unrecognized vision disorder can mimic other conditions, for which many children may be classified or medicated. Because of this, the potential for misdiagnosing the true cause of a child's struggles is enormous. This book reveals the untold facts about the sense we rely on most and understand the least.
