This interactive training will begin with a review of Large Print/Braille and audio labeling systems and resources which promote independence among persons with visual impairment. Participants will then move through the scope and sequence for labeling while discussing prerequisite skills and strategies to increase confidence through experience. The training will culminate an interactive session to practice no tech, low tech, and high tech options to help each family compare and contrast labeling systems and how to identify a starting point that seems best for them. This training will include information on tactile labels, tactile markers, label makers, audio labels, bar code readers, and more. |
