Professional Development

Training that helps teams connect access, concepts, communication, and independence.

Professional development is available for schools, districts, state agencies, university programs, therapy teams, conference audiences, parent groups, and healthcare-adjacent providers.

Signature topics

Training built from Lana's framework and field experience.

Hidden Curriculum of Vision

What visual observation teaches, how students may miss that learning, and how to make hidden concepts explicit.

Access vs. cognition

How teams can determine whether performance reflects understanding, access, communication, experience, or fatigue.

AAC and visual impairment

Why AAC success requires concept access, not just symbol access, and how TVIs and SLPs can collaborate.

CVI and meaningful access

Move beyond looking toward participation, functional outcomes, visual fatigue awareness, and concept development.

Quality TVI services

Help administrators and families understand what comprehensive VI services should address.

Confirming understanding

Create shared demonstration methods and cleaner data for learners with complex access and communication needs.

Training formats

Topics can be adapted for keynotes, half-day workshops, full-day professional learning, parent trainings, virtual sessions, team consultation, resource development, or ongoing implementation support.

Sessions are designed to be practical. Teams leave with clearer questions, better language, and usable tools for improving access and outcomes.
