What does my child see?
What kind of light helps my child see best?
.Some children may have trouble adjusting to changes in the amount
of light. Or your child may be able to see in some kinds of light but not
others.
Notice if your child squints or turns
away from light. She may see best
when the light is not too bright or
when the weather is cloudy.
Notice if your child likes to
look at things in bright light.
She may see best in brightly lit
rooms or strong sunlight.
The direction the light comes from
may affect what your child can see. Try
changing the position of the light as
she does different tasks to find out what
helps her see best.
To see small details, this child
sees best when the light is
directly over the object.
The kind of light may also
make a difference. Some
children do well with light
focused on what they see.
Others do well with light that is
diffused but still strong.
