This session will focus on embedding intervention practices within family routines to promote the development of young children with multiple disabilities and sensory loss (visual impairment or both a visual impairment and hearing loss). It will highlight the contributions of interdisciplinary team members (early interventionists, early childhood special educators, teachers endorsed in visual impairments, and other disciplines) in collaborating with families to develop and implement learning opportunities for their young children. Information will be provided through short lectures on selected topics, PowerPoint slides, discussion of handouts, observations of videos clips, and plans for application to practice. Participants will apply specific strategies through analysis of video clips, small group activities, and completion of a back home plan. Teams are encouraged to participate in this preconference session. |
