Tailored to the people you support
No two teams are the same, and neither are the people they work with. Before the session, we ask about your team's roles, the people you support and what you most want to learn. Then we shape the content and examples around that.
Focus areas to choose from
Vision and AAC
Understanding a person's functional vision profile, so the speech pathologist and team can make informed choices about AAC, from signs and gestures to symbols, PODD books and speech-generating devices.
Movement and participation
Working alongside orientation and mobility specialists to understand vision that changes with fatigue, lighting and busy places.
Learning at home
Helping home-schooling families understand how vision affects learning and everyday activities.
Working as a team
Sharing one functional vision profile, so everyone works from the same understanding.
