Creating resources for vision testing

Felt bees and ladybugs attached to thin sticks rest on a speckled gray countertop. The bees have yellow and black stripes, while the ladybugs are red with black spots.

While the serious business of loan applications and finding a premises continues, we are using our time to create other resources which will come in handy for assessing vision of smaller people, including those with ocular or cerebral vision impairment.

Felt fabric pieces are arranged on a tabletop, with a yellow and black bee and yellow shapes on green felt. Scissors and a marker rest nearby, surrounded by colorful scraps.

Using supplies from Spotlight, creating templates, and cutting out shapes in different colours.

Differently sized red spheres mounted on wires make great vision targets for assessing how far out to the sides someone can see. This is important when assessing how their vision may affect their functioning.

I am very grateful for my very willing assistant. My daughter just loves craft and was delighted to offer up her creative skills to help me with these creations.

My daughter came up with the designs.
