Dr. Linda Lawrence, renowned ophthalmologist for people with different abilities visited CASP


CASP Consultant and worldwide renowned ophthalmologist Dr. Linda Lawrence visited us during the week of the 3rd to March7th.  Her visit was principally oriented toward the training, through sharing and transmitting her vast experience to Peruvian Ophthalmologists from the “Instituto Damos Visión”, which is directed by Peruvian Ophthalmologist  Dr. Luz Gordillo, in the visual attention toward patients with different abilities in our country.

She was happy to visit CASP and observe some of our students in their classrooms, looking forward to continue visual evaluations toward new students as well as their follow-up for others during this 2014.

It is important to mention that Dr. Lawrence has been recognized with many international awards for her humanitarian work in several countries around the world. She uses clear and simple language as well as several methods to identify when a person with different abilities has visual difficulties, thus helping to avoid more problems in their learning process this way.
