Professional Development for Teachers
Our NESA approved Professional Development (PD) workshop is designed to equip primary school teachers with a range of tools necessary to identify children who may have vision related learning issues.
​
In an attempt to address statistics surrounding vision and learning and raise awareness of the reality of vision related learning problems...
Our hands-on workshop gives teachers
-
an overview of the role allied health professionals play in the diagnosis and management of eye related disorders,
-
a description of common visual and information processing difficulties and how to identify them in the classroom
-
the opportunity to experience a number of visual concerns through simulations, and
-
information on how to guide parents to making connections with professionals who can provide help.
​
Over the 3 hours teachers will receive answers to common problems like why students:
-
Struggle to read simple sight words that have been taught time and time again
-
Make up words in a sentence that aren’t there
-
Forget verbal instructions, forcing you to endlessly repeat yourself
-
Tire easily when completing set tasks
​
When PD is combined with our On-Site Assessments, statistics from the students seen at the school are incorporated into the presentation, giving teachers a greater understanding of the tools they will be given to approach learning in their classrooms. Discounts may also apply.
