PROCESSING VISUAL INFORMATION AND ITS IMPACT ON SPECIAL NEEDS

HOW WHAT YOU SEE IMPACTS ON ASD, DYSLEXIA, DYSCALCULIA, AND SENSORY

INTERGRATION PROBLEMS. PRESENTED BY:

 

IAN JORDAN

 

Ian will present a fast moving presentation in which video, animation, unique demonstrations and theory are used to show how the visual world often provokes many of the difficulties encountered for those with special needs.

 

The presentation will consist of a number of sections

 

An introduction to visual processing theory

Recreation of symptoms

Recognition techniques

Videos to show different effects

A unique 45 minute demonstration of how visual processing affects not just what e visually perceive but other sensory systems too ( this section is often dramatic, uses the audience as ?willing volunteers? and although it can be likened to a ?magic show?, it does have serious implications).

A chance to ask Ian some questions

 

Ian is a well know international lecturer in this field. He has appeared on BBC1, BBC2, Sky, Teachers TV, national press and radio, author of 6 books, and winner of a number of awards for research in medical and educational fields.

He is clinical director of Orthoscopics and in this role is involved in some of the most exciting current research projects; whilst being gregarious, friendly and approachable. Watch this space!!

Hi,

 

Many thanks for this - really interested although I wondered if you could confirm whether this is in Cardiff or Caerleon, (Newport) - also cost �25 - is that for parents (and the �65 for professionals)?

 

Once again thanks,

Jb
