Seeing begins in the brain
Everyone experiences the world differently, and so does the way we use our vision.
Some people have healthy eyes, but their brain makes sense of what they see in its own way. Others have an eye condition too, and both shape how they learn, move, communicate and get through the day.
We come to you. We get to know how vision works for your child, or for you, including people who communicate in different ways or need a lot of support.
We use gentle observation and everyday activities to understand how vision is really used, day to day.
Could vision processing be part of the picture?
If a few of these sound familiar, a functional vision assessment can help work out what's going on.
For parents: does your child...
seem to see, but not fully understand what they're looking at?
become overwhelmed in busy or visually cluttered places?
turn their head to use their vision?
find it hard to find, recognise or copy things?
need more help going down stairs than going up?
respond better to sound or touch than to vision?
often trip over obvious obstacles?
For adults: whether since a stroke, brain injury or a lifelong neurological condition, do you…
bump into things or miss objects on one side?
find it hard to spot things in cluttered spaces, like a busy fridge or cupboard?
lose your place when reading, or skip words and lines?
have trouble recognising faces, or finding someone in a crowd?
find your eyes tire quickly with reading or screens, or see double?
feel tired or overwhelmed in busy places like shopping centres?
misjudge steps, kerbs or distances?
Our approach
Understanding how vision is used
A functional vision assessment isn't just about eyesight. It's about what the brain does with what we see: attention, recognition, movement and visual comfort, in real environments.
Support built around you
We work alongside families, carers and support teams, so everyone understands the same vision profile and support fits into everyday life.
Who we work with
Children and adults whose brains process vision differently, including people with CVI, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, acquired brain injury, stroke, developmental delay, genetic conditions and complex support needs. You don’t need a diagnosis to get in touch.
How it works
1
Vision questionnaire
Tell us about everyday life before we meet.
2
Seeing vision in action.
We start where you're most comfortable.
3
In the community
We visit the places that feel harder.
4
Discuss and plan
We talk through what we found, agree together on what matters most, and share it with your team.
