Previous nystagmus lectures and talks


The first request to talk about nystagmus to teachers, parents of children with nystagmus and adults with nystagmus came in the late 1980s. Since then, we’ve learnt a lot more about the condition, so the content has changed a great deal. I still give single-handed presentations, but increasingly they’re all day workshops and two or three of us are involved, as the photo below shows.

Over the years, I’ve explained what it’s like to have nystagmus from Glasgow in the north to Plymouth in the south. Some VI support services ask me back on a regular basis to talk to the latest cohort of students.

”Your presentation was excellent. Thank you. I will probably arrange another in the future and target other parents” - VI support teacher, Gwent.

Among the audiences I’ve talked to are:

”The personal accounts were invaluable. The medical background was very interesting and it will be useful to have the ‘laymen’ knowledge behind advice for parents” – delegate Birmingham workshop.
