Vision Australia  Readiness group for parents and carers
Vision Australia’s Readiness groups have been developed by, and are led by, our specialist staff including:

• Occupational Therapists
• Speech Pathologists
• Assistive Technology Specialists
• Orientation & Mobility Specialists
• Counsellors

Education in the early stage of life is the foundation for independence, inclusion and employment.

So much of a child’s learning is through incidental visual learning and occurs with family. Children who experience a vision impairment learn less by watching others and more through fun and accessible play activities.

Vision Australia’s Readiness groups for parents and carers have been specifically developed to help you build the skills and knowledge needed to support your child to be successful in the home environment and the community, now and in the future.

The groups will include educational sessions for parents/carers about the child development areas they identify as important for their children. These sessions will focus on supporting parents and carers to implement key strategies to support their child at home and in the community with life skills, independence and social inclusion.

Groups will include content such as:

• Setting expectations for your child and helping them to achieve them
• Self-advocacy skills
• Equipment and Aids to increase independence
• Support and services available for school children
• Career awareness and future employment
• Hear from parents and others who experience blindness or low vision

If your child experiences low vision or blindness and is 0 – 12 years old, please call to find out more and book in for the next group in your area. Be quick as places are limited!
