Did you know that the way our eyes work together for near vision can affect our ability to read, process and understand information? More than 20% of students have vision problems that interfere with learning. As a result of undiagnosed vision deficiencies, some children may develop behavior problems, while others will avoid reading and homework. Come find out how to tell whether a child’s vision may be a reason for academic and/or behavioral challenges. This lively, interactive workshop is a must for every parent, teacher and professional working with children. Presented by Dr. Monika Spokas and Dr. Linda Weil, Developmental Optometrists
