"This was one of the most outstanding, timely, and applicable trainings that I have had and I've been doing this for 16 years! I walked away with something that I can do starting immediately that can directly and permanently impact families of young children as well as address a dire need in the community as showed by the research."
Mara Kuczun, Bilingual Early Childhood Special Educator
A Shared Vision presented a clear, concise training on Vision Screening for Birth to age 3. I appreciated that they put together great handouts, practice examples and very clear directions on moving through the process from sending the form to the family to scoring. I feel better prepared to tackle my next evaluation, equipped with a great tool and resources. Thank you! Wish I had this years ago!
