Lisa has a background in Education, having been a Deputy Head Teacher in charge of pastoral care with a special interest in SEN. Working across all age groups, but mainly in secondary. Specialising in working with hard to reach young people particularly with Special Educational Need and also from Looked After backgrounds.
Lisa provides training for business and educational establishments in visual stress and how this can be effectively managed in the work place and the classroom. Lisa and all of her three children have Visual Stress and are also dyslexic, so she comes from a place of understanding and empathy.
Visual Stress is not an optical or medical problem; it is a visual perceptual dysfunction affecting the brain's ability to process visual information causing difficulties primarily with reading and writing-based subjects.
Visual stress can have so many varied symptoms. You should consider an assessment if you suffer from migraines, struggle with dazzling car headlights, dislike bright lights, have multi-sensory overload, are finding it difficult to concentrate or have text distortion.
It is rare for colour not to help someone with ASD, as it ‘calms the world down’ and provides a protective barrier from the harshness of the world and it’s multi-sensory overload. Lisa is able to provide non-verbal assessments if required and is experienced in working with clients with ASD.
