Visual Impairment

Visual Impairment

A visual impairment means a child has reduced vision that cannot be fully corrected with glasses or contact lenses. This can affect how they explore, communicate and learn.

Some children are born with a visual impairment. Others develop it later due to illness or injury. The effects vary depending on the type and level of vision loss.

Speech and language therapists support communication and learning, working with families, schools and other professionals.
