Vision

Mission

Application and Evaluation

Vision

My vision is a see and share world of color and a world of clarity. With the following training participants will realize

the importance of vision

Value and care for their eyes and value the sense of sight in others, especially children.

Mission

To train those interested in a process that can identify weakness and prevent blindness.

To become recertified in vision training.

To make appropriate referrals to a full exam with an opthamologist or optomistrist.

Application

Application

Evaluate visual acuity.

Identify childhood safety issues relating to injury, disease and childhood conditions.

Label a diagram of the eye.

Train vision screeners.

Evaluation

Pretest-Snellen Chart and research

Posttest-Multiple Choice and essay

Satisfaction Survey

Overview

My capstone project is a follow-up project for graduate work at Walden University and course 6190.

Resources will follow systematic research from the Prevent Blindness North Carolina, Council for Exceptional Children, and the Journal of Learning Disabilities.

For Design purposes, my primary choices are to apply Microsoft Office, YouTube, Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat Suite 4.0 and SlideShare.

For Communication I plan to share these slides with Slideshare.

Theories of Multiple Intelligence as well as theories of learning styles will enhance instructional applications.

Print will be adapted according to page and content visibility. Design of text will be Calibre font.

Color Cuing

“Color cuing plays an necessary role in exceptional child education. Until tests of color blindness are performed routinely, teachers of red/green discrimination tasks.” (Gardnier, P., 1973)

Visual Attention

Visual Attention has a great influence upon whether a child can read and write.

Attention is given for other tests that may be applied to visual

attention to numbers

An article that calls attention to research regarding visual attention can be found in the Journal of Learning Disabilitie-Is there a Common Linkage among visual attention and magnocelluar processing”(Solan, Temray Hansen & Larson, 2007)

Resources Context

Practice Protocol

Research Visual problems in childhood are common!

Vision Problem develop:

As a child grows older

With allergies

Blindness

Many injuries are a result of: Sports ToysAccidents

13.5 million children are affected

Pre-school 0-4

Treatable

2.5 Million

ResearchBlindness

One eye

Both eyes

Low risk

Visual Impairments

Learning Disabilities relating to vision:

Visual Perception

Dyslexia

Vision problems are more prevalent in boy after preschool age.

Early detection is a key to preventing blindness

ResearchMost states require professionals in K-12 schoolsto prescreen.

There are many differences and opinions among health professional about selecting screening tools

Exams vary with an average of 2 out of three children identified.

Even though prevention is the key to detecting blindness, eye exams rates for preschool children is essential.

Medicaid pays for some childhood vision exams but only 28% take advantage of these preventative measures
