Postgraduate Diploma in Visual Impairment and School Performance
Visual disturbances can have a significant impact on school performance, since most learning in school is accomplished through sight. Visual disturbances can include problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or amblyopia, and can affect the way children see and process visual information.
Introduction to visual impairment and its impact on learning
If not properly treated, visual disturbances can cause eyestrain, headaches, difficulty reading and writing, as well as concentration and memory problems. All of these can hinder learning and cause reduced school performance.
It is important that children receive regular eye examinations to detect and treat any visual problems as early as possible. If a visual disturbance is detected, measures such as the use of corrective lenses, vision therapy or exercises to improve eye coordination can be taken to improve vision and school performance.
This virtual academic program seeks to provide students with comprehensive training in visual impairment and its impact on school performance. Students will learn about the fundamentals of visual impairments and their impact on cognitive development, as well as their assessment and diagnosis. In addition, they will be taught about cognitive neuroscience and the relationship between visual perception and learning, as well as methods and techniques for intervention in visual impairment and visual adaptations to improve learning. The program will also focus on the impact of technologies on visual impairments and the design of strategies for their responsible and effective use. Learning will take place through theoretical and practical modules, which will include exercises, teamwork, and discussions.
