UNSW survey about vision in children and adolescents with Down syndrome

Daniel Chui is a Ph D student at the School of Optometry and Vision Science, at the University of New South Wales. He has been studying aspects of vision in children with Down syndrome, and many of our members and their children have participated. He needs input now from families of children and adolescents with Down syndrome, aged 8 - 18, for his final survey. Those with and without vision vision impairment are invited to participate. You can complete the questionnaire on-line, by clicking here.

For further information about vision and vision impairment in children with Down syndrome, we recommend the website of the Down Syndrome Vision Research Unit - Cardiff University (Wales), for research reports and information brochures written for parents, teachers and eye care professionals. Information includes recommendations about print sizes for students with Down syndrome, and simulations of vision impairments that might exist even when vision is apparently corrected.

Now don't forget that survey!
