There is an assumption that students arrive to school with intact vision; however, students can pass a vision screening and still have visual processing challenges. It is estimated that 80% of learning is visual, so addressing visual concerns is of primary importance for successful learning. Participants in this course will leave with a new appreciation for visual differences that are not attributed to acuity alone. Recognizing visual processing differences in K-12 learners, knowing when to refer to a specialist and having tools that will make accessing academic information more visible to all learners are the objectives of this course.
