After epilepsy surgery, many children have vision changes like hemianopia, CVI-related characteristics, eye movement problems, or visual fatigue that can make school and daily life harder. This session will explain these issues in plain language and focus on practical tools and strategies.

We’ll look at common situations (reading, copying from the board, moving around safely, using screens) and explore environmental changes, low- to high-tech tools and questions you can bring to your child’s IEP or school team You’ll leave with concrete ideas and language to help you advocate for the vision supports and assistive tools that fit your child and your family.
