For teachers and school districts
Start with the students nothing else has worked for.
That is how the Idaho district started, and it is still the honest way in. Take the children who have been through every intervention you have, and try this with them first.
What you actually do
Three things, none of which add a visit.
OneIdentify from the screeningLeft eye dominance with an even spherical equivalent predicts which children will struggle, before the struggle starts.
TwoTrain the adult, not the softwareWe train your teachers to run the cards and, more importantly, to hear what the child says.
ThreeTrack what changedReading levels, referral outcomes and screening records live in one place you can show a school board.
What it changes for you
- Fewer children routed into evaluations they do not need
- A defensible reason to look at vision before assuming a learning disability
- Training your Teachers of the Visually Impaired can deliver themselves
- Reporting that survives a board meeting
What it changes for them
Children two years behind have caught up within a semester. Not all of them, and not every case. But for the specific child whose eyes are going the wrong direction, this is the thing that was missing.
