Lisa Donaldson
Lisa Donaldson is an optometrist, Honorary Lecturer at City, University of London and Head of Eye Care and Vision and SeeAbility. Her team’s award winning research evidenced huge unmet eye care need in England’s special school population- with over half of pupils having a significant visual problem, 40% needing glasses but 43% having never accessed eye care. This work led to a Governmental commitment to a national eye care service for all 160000 children who attend special school in England.

About session
Lisa will introduce the most common eye problems experienced by people with learning disabilities and what you need to know to best support visual access to communication technology, to make sure no one is missing out because their visual abilities or needs are not understood. Often, a simple pair of glasses or a change in screen positioning can make all the difference.
