ClinConnect Summary

The "Providing Access to the Visual Environment" trial aims to help children in Tennessee who have vision impairments. This program is designed for kids aged 3 to 21 who have difficulty seeing clearly, specifically those whose best-corrected vision is 20/50 or worse in their stronger eye. The goal is to provide them with special devices that can improve their vision and to train them on how to use these devices effectively.

To participate, children must be enrolled in a public or private school in Tennessee and have a visual impairment that qualifies them for services. However, children who cannot learn to read or use their vision for reading will not be eligible. If accepted into the program, participants can expect to receive personalized support and training to enhance their visual abilities, helping them to engage more fully in their daily activities and education.
