Answer 2

How about one that is commonly missed, vision.

Most people look at vision from the context of acuity.

Yet there are many more disorders like problems with eye teaming, depth perception and convergence that go undiagnosed.

You can have some hands on for some people to use such as using some prisms, alternating lenses in a set of glasses (cheap ones at WalMart). And some alternating text on paper so that people can get a feel for what it is like to have a vision disorder.

Its kinda like a hidden disorder and affects reading and overall school performance and it is often not discovered. Maybe it would raise some awareness in your area.

I can help you get off to a start with some material, email me if you are interested.

Here is a link that can give you some reading on it.
