Early Vision Trainer
Improving visual perception in babies & in young children with special needs.
Includes console, kit and guidelines.
The Demonstrator & Control of the Programme.
QTVI visits to listen to parents, staff and carers, answer questions and suggest ideas may need
to be frequent initially. The Early Vision Trainer is designed to promote visual curiosity and
improve basic figure/ground visual perception in a child. But what seems to be a simple
programme and fun equipment in demonstration is based on up-to-date research. To be
effective it may need a change of behaviour in the adults themselves. The principles behind
these simple activities need to be understood; observation needs to be used effectively. To
encourage parents who may be unsure or to enthuse staff in a busy school to follow your
advice is no easy task.
For you, the demonstrator, it demands a good understanding of early vision development,
and a determination to interest others in this. You are the controller, so agree on targets and
block periods right from the start – and follow them through.
It helps to foster a curiosity in the interactivity of eye, brain, hand and .... that amazing
world out there. It does you good, too, when a child stills, gets excited, or just laughs at a
puppet face for the first time.
