The Vision Behind the Struggle: Identifying and Supporting Students with Hidden Visual Challenges - Mar 20, 2026

When students struggle with reading, focus, or efficiency, the issue may not be motivation or behaviour—it may be vision. This session introduces educators to Binocular Vision Dysfunction and related visual processing disorders that often go undetected. Participants will learn to identify warning signs, understand when to refer for assessment (including post-concussion concerns), and apply practical classroom accommodations to support student success.
