After my post on subtle challenges teaching at AIC, I talked to Eric. They do handle optometry. In fact, they had an 'optometry camp' just two months ago and all the kids at the Education Center were checked out. Probably the girl in my 9th standard class just missed that day.
I know she had been out of school for some time and only recently returned. It was in the previous volunteer's report. And she is very shy/quiet, but her English and reading skills are about as good as the other kids in the class. I actually hope nearsightedness is a problem for her and that glasses will help her level of engagement/confidence in both our sessions and the rest of her classes. (And not provide another source of self-consciousness.)
