New - Assessment for visually and multi impaired children.

 This innovative assessment tool has been carefully constructed by a well qualified and experienced teacher of children with visual and other profound disabilities.  It differs from other assessments by giving credit for small steps of achievement and is embedded in advice from established authorities. 
The document has been produced under headings of recognised visual and sensory stages of development and is sub-divided into minute steps, which gives greater scope for achievement to the more severely disabled children and adolescents.
It is easy to read and follow, has useful strategies, and is given further credence by being cross-referenced to PIVATS.This is an exciting opportunity to purchase an invaluable assessment tool.The CD is priced at £50 (+VAT) to reflect the time devoted to constructing the tool, referring to appropriate research, and the quality of the material. Consultation/training is also available at the cost of £50 (+VAT) for one hour, plus travelling expenses.For more information or to order- contact the Author at : lynette.deakin@liverpool.gov.uk

Over the last few months Positive Eye has made a real impact on the many clients it has been working with nationwide. Feedback has been positively charged with delegates recommending training as first-rate and endorsement from the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) and the National Blind Children’s Society (NBCS).

Positive Eye launched in October 2008 and since then has been working to build its profile and client base. But recent months have seen a huge increase in the number of delegates they’ve trained, thanks to their happy customers creating a positive buzz across the sector.

Gwyn McCormack, Managing Director of Positive Eye, explained: “I am really pleased that word is now getting out about our services. We’ve been really busy delivering bespoke training for varying services, special schools and childcare students and it’s great to hear clients feel they can apply what they’ve learnt in to the work setting. I’ve been overwhelmed by the positive feedback and number of enquiries that have been received by Positive Eye, in the short time that the compay has been running.

“I also deliver standard training courses that any individual can book on to, consultancy services and sell products such as ready-made policies and toolkits. These have been equally as successful.”

Gwyn really understands both the issues and barriers for practitioners working with children with visual impairments. She also understands the issues for children and young people being educated in a mainstream setting. She aims to provide courses that meet this need by offering practically based, solution focused, strategies and approaches.

Suzie McDonald, Curriculum Development Officer from RNIB, attended the “Forward Planning for a Visually Impaired Child” course, she commented: “The course was well paced, incredibly well organised and very informative, I thoroughly recommend!”

Glenys Critchley, Educational Advocate for the NBCS attended the same course and said: “Awesome preparation, awesome content, a very pleasant and informative day. I would recommend this training to anyone.”
