Unlock the secrets of early vision development and learn how vision shapes a child’s world from birth to age three. Molly Conn and Dee, teachers of children with visual impairments, share practical strategies to help parents, caregivers, and early interventionists support visual growth and independence.

This episode explains key differences between ocular health, eyesight, and vision development, highlights critical early milestones, and explores how conditions like CVI, autism, epilepsy, and other neurological differences often overlap with visual challenges. You’ll gain simple, actionable tools—such as using descriptive language, high-contrast materials, and consistent routines—to better support children’s learning and safety.
