Does your child have a Vision Impairment?

 

Ask about joining the Australian Childhood Vision Impairment Register: a free information service for you and your child.

Children with vision impairment require integrated and specialised services including health, education, social work, and other support services organisations. To help plan these services accurate details of the causes, number of affected children and their level of vision are needed.

The Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children is undertaking to build, develop and maintain the first Australian -wide childhood vision impairment register. The register will be used by researchers to investigate the cause and prevention of childhood vision impairment. It will also be used by Australian service providers to more accurately plan for the present and future services which meet the needs of people with vision impairment.
