The Development of the Visual System, Online, 9am-12pm

This workshop includes some theory on how the visual system develops, irregularities that might appear, how to spot these irregularities in babies/toddlers/pre-preschoolers, as well as the effects on overall learning. The session includes hands-on moments for the participants that will lead to Aha moments, and lots of playful activity ideas that can be implemented in daycare and preschool to help the visual system mature.
