ClinConnect Summary
This study is looking at how well easy-to-read (ETR) health materials work to help children and teenagers with intellectual disabilities learn about eye health. Many people with intellectual disabilities have trouble getting clear health information and support, which can make it harder for them to take care of their eyes and get early help when needed. This research will test different types of visual health education to see which ones best improve knowledge and awareness among young people with special needs.
Children and teens between the ages of 3 and 18 who have intellectual disabilities or developmental delays may be able to join, as long as they can recognize at least two out of three simple pictures during an initial check. Those with severe difficulties in thinking, hearing, speaking, or moving that would make it hard to participate won’t be able to join. Participants will receive different eye health lessons, and the study will measure how much they learn. The goal is to create better, easier-to-understand health information and tools that can help this group get better care and support for their vision.
