How can I support my color-blind child?

Supporting a color-blind child involves understanding their needs and helping them navigate challenges. What specific concerns do you have?

I want to help them with schoolwork, especially in art class.

You can encourage them to use labels and descriptions for colors, and provide tools like color identification apps. Have they mentioned any specific difficulties?

Yes, they struggle with color-coded assignments.

In that case, you can talk to their teachers about using patterns or symbols instead of colors for assignments. Would you like tips on how to approach the school?

That would be great! How should I start the conversation?

Start by explaining your child's color blindness and how it affects their learning. Suggest alternative methods for assignments and ask for their support.
