Testimonials:
“In the last three years since Positive Looking has become a part of the syllabus in Bradford schools, I have noticed not only improvements in the development of the children, but an increased confidence amongst teaching staff, and more accurate reporting of progress.” – Rachel Pilling, Ophthalmologist
“I don’t know why everyone in the country isn’t using Positive Looking. In my opinion every special school should have a copy.” – Yvonne Smith, Advisory Teacher for Children with VI and additional complex needs, Bradford
“Positive Looking provides everything you need in a simple, straightforward system that would take years to develop yourself.” – Teacher of the Visually Impaired, North England
‘I use Positive Looking 1 weekly with a child with very complex health needs who has frequent admissions to GOSH. Her hospital teacher remarked on how well she is now using her vision- a child who was thought to have no useful sight. Positive Looking has enabled me to deliver a bespoke programme which is fun – and works!’ Teacher of VI, South England
