Ears, Eyes and Nose

Vision, Eyes

Like so many of us, children with CdLS rely on their vision to help them take in information about the world around them. This is especially true for people who do not communicate verbally but use communication systems like sign language, PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), or computerized technology. The quality of their eyesight and health of their eyes is crucial to their ability to navigate in the world.
