Hispanic immigrant children living in rural areas often suffer from learning disabilities caused by visual dysfunctions. They remain undetected for a number of reasons. School screenings usually only check for visual acuity rather than vision dysfunction. Parents usually are the first to notice problems, but Hispanic immigrant parents often don’t speak English, the child’s student homework language, lack academic success themselves, and employ an authoritarian parenting style common in their culture. As a result, they miss or don’t address the underlying cause of the learning disability. Programs are needed that address this problem.
