Kid Sense: Visual Perception, Body Awareness and Motor Planning Challenges, Testing, and Remediation

Course Description

Visual perception is a skill that develops and we are seeing more and more students with visual perception problems.  Our students are coming into school less prepared, stressed out and demonstrating more challenges with attention.  The cause is twofold:  the first is inactivity and the second is seen in how our children play.  Kids are made to move, and to pretend, and to solve problems and we are seeing children who are not moving as much, not pretending as much and not allowed to solve problems on their own.  We have to be ready for this brave new world with the best research and treatment methodologies to help struggling students.  This class takes a deep dive into visual perception, development, challenges, testing and remediation.  Participants will walk away with immediate treatment solutions to many challenging problems commonly seeing in our schools and clinics today.
