Welcome to Module 4: Common Vision Diagnoses
Time for some detective work. This module starts with a handwriting sample that looks like a disaster – letters everywhere, spacing all wrong. The teacher was concerned about fine motor skills, but Jaime’s quick vision screening revealed the real culprit: misaligned eyes. That’s the theme here – vision problems are master disguises. They show up looking like ADHD, autism, behavior problems, and reading disabilities. Robert’s stories about the “emo kid” with hair covering one eye and the sugar detox success will stick with you long after you finish watching. You’ll learn to spot the red flags and document what you see without overstepping your scope.
