How Does ‘Visual Noise’ Impact Learning and Play?

Vision plays a crucial role in a child's ability to learn, and visual difficulties can impact their academic performance and overall development. These visual difficulties can be exacerbated by other factors such as eye muscle weakness, poor lighting, or distractions in the environment. To address these issues, it is essential for teachers and parents to identify and accommodate these visual difficulties early on, providing accommodations such as text magnification, preferential seating, and frequent breaks to help children with visual impairments succeed. By recognizing the impact of vision on learning and providing necessary support, we can help children with visual difficulties overcome their challenges and reach their full potential.
