Further details: Lisa will be talking about her work at SeeAbility with children with learning disabilities attending special schools and the NHS Special Schools Eye care service. She will also reference specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia /dyspraxia and the difference between the two levels of learning difficulty and why eye care is so important for children with either. She will highlight the issue of diagnostic overshadowing (behaviours caused by poor vision being wrongly attributed to someone’s learning disability).
