#COLOR BLIND TEST FOR KIDS HOW TO#

It really isn't hard to hide the fact that you are mildly colorblind. And if the teacher knows, it increases the chances that he will never be discovered. If people do find out by accident that's no big deal. They will see this as a handicap and will tease him. You understand what's going on with him, he will (maybe not now but soon enough) understand what colorblindess means, but the other handful of kids won't.

Once he learns how to put up with all the annoying people, it'll become a part of him he either doesn't think about or is proud of.Īlso, try to keep this as a secret. In fact, because I automatically look for other cues, I'm sometimes able to pick out objects even better than the people working through colors.īasically, he'll be just fine. It's something that makes him unique, and I've actually found that because I'm somewhat worse at identifying things through color, I've improved other recognition skills so I can identify objects through other means with virtually no loss. He may not always match his clothes perfectly, be good at wiring ethernet cords (they just had to pick the toughest colors, didn't they?), or do well playing Frozen Bubble, but other than that it should have little to no impact on his life. The only major problem with color blindness that actually gets in the way is having to deal with people constantly asking you what color things are. For minor color blindness, it has almost no affect on your daily life, and you can almost forget about it. He is an active and outgoing kid but on the sensitive side, especially when it comes to being different in any way.Īt the same time I don't want him to suffer from this and I am thinking that if he finds out now it should be able to prepare him for any challenges he might experience in school. What kind of doctor should I take him to?(We're in Norway)īasically what I guess I am asking is how would you like your parents to have handled your colorblindness? I don't want to create crutches for him that he does not need. Should I point him in any directions/away from some activities? Should I make any changes around the house? How do I understand how he sees the world? (I can't seem to get my head around this.) Any information would be much appreciated. I've been searching for decent online resources but I haven't found much and I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction. He has absolutely no idea anything is 'wrong' but he is starting school in a few weeks and I want to be as prepared as I can be. I will of course take him to do the tests with a doctor to get a diagnosis, but for now I haven't told him. It turns out his grandfather on the mother side is colourblind(but practically in denial even in his late sixties) so I guess thats where he inherited it from.

I have no experience with this whatsoever and I am trying to learn the words(so pardon me if I speak gibberish), but it seems from the test he has some version of Deuteranomaly. He is six years old and we have been suspecting it for a while, but he did an Isihara test the other day which removed any doubt. I just found out that my kid is colorblind.
