John - question on old PiA CVID handout

[marksmom]

Hi John,
Years ago PiA had an excellent handout written I believe by David W., on understanding CVID which also included a little section by you & Gillie. It was by far the best resource I had for giving Mark's teachers an informational sheet about CVID, but I can't find it anywhere online now that PiA is no more. Do you happen to have any you could download & add to this board? It was really well written and informative, without being too technical. Very useful for schools.

Thanks!

You can find that one on the UKPIN PiA archive:

ukpin.org.uk/home/PIA-archive/

Its the 'Understanding CVID' one: ukpin.org.uk/home/PIA-archive/17-CVID.htm

I don't know if you might have noticed the sheet that we produced as well? Its only a short information leaflet (the ones we are producing are stopgaps until we can produce full on leaflets like the old PiA ones).

You can find it in the PID Information Bank on the main forum page.

Thanks, Sam!! I'm sorry to confess I hadn't looked at the info here - I've always used the other pamphlet for his school in the past. I will definitely check it out!

Thanks for all you do!

You might find the information on the website of the recently established PID UK useful as well:
