Nichola and Lachie from Springload looking at cards placed in a table. They look like working on the app creation. There are also notebooks, coffee cups and stationery on top of the table.

We have had the pleasure of using the Austin assessment for the last twelve months in a study of vision conditions in 7-year-old children.  For this research, we have completed eye examinations in schools.  It has been amazing to include the Austin assessment in our study to screen for brain based visual issues, an area that has previously been difficult to include in vision studies.  The Austin assessment is quick, straightforward, easy to use and the children love it!  Most of the children in our study have reported that it was their favourite part of the eye examination.
