Description
Are We Seeing It?
Free
Tuesday, January 22 • 7:00 PM
Presenter: Dr. Kristen Kerber, Pediatric Optometrist at Dimock Community Health Center, Boston
Young children do not know how they should see and cannot tell us about their vision. One in ten preschoolers
and one in four school-aged children have a vision disorder. Left undetected and untreated, all aspects of a child’s physical, emotional, social and behavioral development can be impacted.
Join Dr. Kristen Kerber as she discusses childhood vision, how to be a “vision champion,” and shares new research that underlines the connection between childhood vision and learning. This program is recommended
for students, teachers, nurses, medical assistants, occupational therapists, those in psychology and social work,
and interested parents and caregivers and students.
Co-sponsored by Children’s Vision Massachusetts and Bay Path University Graduate Admissions for the School of Education, Health, and Human Services.
