There are two training packages you can book through Can:Do 4Kids
Package 1: General Presentation
Package 1: General Presentation
Great for schools (and teachers) who are new to supporting a child with disability within a classroom setting. Sessions focus on explaining how within a classroom setting you can identify and understand the child with hearing loss, vision impairment or those who have
auditory processing disorders. For example, the signs to watch out for and how you can modify your classroom.
Tip: Students with vision impairment may require specific teaching strategies such as auditory learning materials, descriptive language and specialised equipment such as braille machines, technology to access their work and dark pencils and dark lined paper.
Package 2: Advanced Presentation
Package 2: Advanced Presentation
For educators who have some knowledge of hearing loss, vision impairment or auditory processing disorders and require further upskilling within one of these particular areas, subjects, difficulties or behaviours.
Tip: Engage the student in conversation about the subject matter or question students about the material. Ask for oral summaries of material or have them tape lectures and review them with you.
