Learning Disabilities & How They Relate to Vision

Posted on October 8, 2019 by Dr. Heather Cowie

It’s no secret that vision problems can severely disable a child’s vision problem. But what happens if your child has vision issues and another learning disability?
Research shows that children with learning disabilities are actually more likely to suffer from vision problems. Unfortunately, the symptoms associated with many learning disabilities often overlap with the symptoms of vision issues, making it difficult to diagnose both.
My friend, Kevann has been diagnosed with learning disabilities, and later, vision issues that may have interfered with her ability to learn. Check out this video to hear a little bit about her experience.
