Parenting and Parents: Hidden visual challenges in children

Relebogile Mabotja speaks to Annemie Kruger, an optometrist, about the hidden visual challenges that can affect children’s reading and learning. While some children have perfectly normal eyesight but may struggle with tracking, focusing, and coordinating their eye movements while reading. These hidden visual challenges can affect reading speed, comprehension, classroom performance, and a child’s confidence, they explore how eye-tracking technology is helping to identify these challenges earlier. Broadcaster veteran Relebogile Mabotja brings a fresh, relaxed take on the issues of the day, alongside lifestyle talk and all things entertainment. Thanks for listening.
