Comprehensive, multidisciplinary low-vision services are crucial for children with visual impairments. These services optimize development and educational outcomes, reducing costs associated with special education.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Optometry
  • Developmental Pediatrics
  • Special Education

Background:

  • Limited literature exists on best practices for evaluating and managing pediatric visual impairments.
  • There's a need for information on optimizing vision to support development and education for visually impaired children.

Observation:

  • An itinerant low-vision service program in Iowa evaluated 1,348 children over 18 years.
  • A traditional low-vision clinic model was insufficient for the pediatric population's needs.

Findings:

  • Program modifications led to expanded and diversified low-vision services for students.
  • Multidisciplinary team roles and impacts on large-print material usage were analyzed.

Implications:
