We are delighted to be welcoming back Maggie Woodhouse, Optometrist and Senior Lecturer at the School of Optometry & Vision Sciences at Cardiff University. For almost 40 years, Maggie’s main interests have been visual development and the provision of eye care for people with learning disabilities, particularly children with Down’s syndrome.

Maggie’s research has changed practice in eye care and she has been awarded both an OBE and a Queen’s Anniversary Award. Maggie and her colleagues run a Special Assessment Clinic for people with disabilities.

At this session, Maggie will speak about her role, sharing her knowledge and expertise about visual development and eye care for individuals with Down’s syndrome and refer to research on this. Time will be given at the end for Maggie to answer any questions you may have.
