Remedial & Special education blog

As a bit of a follow-on to our previous blog post about the impact of a tool like the iPad in the classroom.

One of our readers commented that there might some impact on eyesight with children exposed to an electronic screen for many hours in the day as opposed to reading a text book or writing on to paper.

With the current “wired” generation at home – and apparently spending an increased amount of time  in front of both a PC or mobile / cellphone device - is there any concrete evidence that this negatively impacts on eyesight over an extended period of time?

We have a new school listed on the RemSpecED website:

The SpiritedKidZ LearnsPace is a full service school which caters for children with mild to moderate learning support needs. The child’s IDP includes the academic goals as well as the therapeutic objectives. The school offers one-on-one teaching approach with daily therapies (occupational therapy, speech therapy and physiotherapy) in addition to art, music and guided reading. Each child has their own teacher who is trained in each child’s specialised program. We offer the service of training your facilitator or we can introduce you to suitable SACE registered teachers. The school offers education, exchange forums and financial guidance to the families with special needs children.
