Topic: Eye Care
The website New Health Dialogue recently noted: "Eye care is one key to promoting literacy. Potts noted that schools may screen children -- but there’s no follow up, no way of making sure they can afford glasses. For instance, about 60 percent of kids in the Philadelphia area who were identified with vision problems through screening, were not receiving further eye care. Hard to read or learn math if you can’t see. (The Philadelphia Eagles took this on as a cause, providing eye care and glasses.) Often a suspected “learning disability” or 'behavioral problem' can have untreated medical roots and long-lasting consequences."
