• Vision Impairment

  • MyVision, a free digital resource led by expert ophthalmologists and optometrists to provide trusted information on eye health and vision.  Many students with visual impairments can struggle to secure necessary academic help, which can lead to reduced language skills and emotional development. It's so important for students and families to know their options, so we compiled resources for students, with information on assistive technologies, managing the public school system and how parents can help.
