Mild vision and hearing problems in children are much more common than we might think and can act as a significant barrier to teaching and learning.

Vision problems: Studies suggest that one in five children have some form visual deficit with the potential to affect their educational development and there have been “significant increases” in short-sightedness due to increasing screentime among other factors.

Hearing loss: Almost one in five children can be affected by mild hearing loss with the majority developing problems during childhood. Even minimal problems can have an impact on cognitive and auditory skills, speech and language development, and educational outcomes.
