At Yandelora School Ana’s role is to build the capacity of staff to meet students’ needs in all of their aspects of school life. Ana has a special interest in a particular type of vision impairment called CVI, or Cortical Vision Impairment. This is a complex and poorly understood form of vision impairment, however is also the most common cause of vision impairment. Camden Rotary Club supported, through a Rotary District Grant and Club donations, the purchase of some amazing and unique teaching aids for students with CVI at Yandelora which Ana showed to Club members.
