Vision and Learning Assessment

An assessment takes approximately one and a half to two hours. For younger children this may be less. It is important that the parents are there during the assessment and that there are no siblings present if possible, to allow full attention to be given to your child. A report will be written following the assessment with recommendations for ways to help your child. 

Assessments include:

Accommodation

Acuity

Attention

Binocularity

Convergence

Depth Perception

Eye dominance

Fixation

Fusional Reserves

Gross motor skills

Peripheral Vision

Primitive reflexes

Tracking

Visual Perception

Recommendations may include prescribing spectacles and/or Optometric vision therapy (OVT). OVT is an individually designed programme depending on the needs of the child.
