At Langsford, training is forever. We believe in lifelong learning--teaching our clients to be lifelong learners, and practicing it ourselves. To that end, we regularly meet to look at new research, share ideas, review what we've previously learned, and to train on new things so that we are at the top of our game when it comes to teaching reading and addressing areas that can impact it.
Langsford staff recently gathered at the end of a workday for a wonderful dinner prepared by Stephen's mother Callie, which was served in the Langsford staff room at the Highlands office. The staff then participated in a training on how to develop visual-motor processing skills in our clients. For some staff it was a review, for others an introduction and first step to prepare for working with clients in this area in the future.
What I hear from staff time and time again is that no matter how often we train on a given area, they always learn new things. Our depth of experience and expertise grows from our quest to continue to build on what we already know. Oh, and by the way--we also learned that night that Callie can make an incredible pasta and salmon salad! Thanks, Callie!
