Presenter cues

  • Walk the report skeleton in order; the order itself is the argument.
  • Distinguish the family/team hand-off (one sentence, one support to keep) from the eye-care hand-off (observations plus a question).
  • Close by orienting participants to the post-course examination and passing criterion.

Answer key

When do you re-run the VPA™?
At the end of each intervention block using identical probes, after any change in correction/medication/medical status, and before an annual review or eligibility decision. Never mid-block on impression — it destroys your own comparison.
What single sentence goes to the classroom teacher?
One condition and one support: "Copy accuracy holds for about four minutes; give a chunked copy task with a line guide and a check-in at minute four." Teachers implement one thing reliably; protocols get abandoned.
