Description of CE Program/Activity
 Making it Routine: Connecting communication, Schedules, and LiteracyThis is a 2 day (15 clock hour) course. Research confirms that learners with multiple disabilities and deaf-blindness, no matter their age, benefit when literacy concepts are built from frequent, meaningful experiences. This two-day presentation will discuss reasons and strategies to connect communication, object schedules, and literacy related experiences to daily routines and regular school activities. Specific attention will be given to students with sensory loss combined with physical challenges and cognitive delays. Ideas for teachers to use with learners of all ages will be shared with picture and video examples
