Meet Harry. Harry is 10 years old and in his last year of Primary School. Harry lost most of his vision in one eye due to retinoblastoma when he was a baby. His vision in the other eye is 1.02 Logmar. He reads N36 as well as being a Braille user. Early on in Primary school it became apparent that Harry struggled reading enlarged books. He didn’t enjoy them as there was so little on one page. Once he had learnt the whole alphabet he started to read small Braille books and the joy of reading returned. He has now finished the Grade 2 course and reads books by David Walliams and Roald Dahl.

In this edition, we meet Sienna. Sienna’s phenomenal progress has been possible because of the close working relationship between her school and the local authority VI team. Recognising the specialist nature of the interventions that Sienna would require, the school worked closely with the LA VI team to put appropriate provision in place. To help achieve this, they supported Kirsty, TA, to undertake VIEW’s Partners in Learning course. This training has ensured that there is someone with specialist knowledge on site at all times.
