▪ We look forward to welcoming you to our exciting new DEVON PATOSS event! 

▪ When assessing students who are experiencing difficulties learning to read, we do need to know which professionals we can responsibly 

refer them to when there is concern that they may be experiencing any visual problems. 

▪ This is such an important area to be aware of for everyone who is involved in education, especially those who teach students, of any age, to read. 

▪ We are extremely delighted to have Donna Cartlidge come and speak to us and share her vast experience & expertise of her work as a highly qualified Orthoptist.
