Seeing and hearing problems refer to when the child is not able to hear and see properly.

Key Points

  • About 13 percent of children under the age of 18 are estimated to be blind or visually impaired. These can be caused by a lot of factors such as genetics, developmental defect, or an accident.
  • Children are very sensitive, so they develop problems with hearing and seeing very easily. So special care must be taken.
  • Children at the age of 3 lack the skill of concentration as they are at the pre-operational stage of development which is characterized by a lack of concentration, reasoning, and abstract thinking.

Hence we conclude that about 13 percent of children under the age of 18 are estimated to be blind or visually impaired.
