This workshop focuses on recommended practices in early intervention and early childhood special education as the context for identifying and implementing interventions for infants, toddlers and preschoolers with CVI. Evidence-based practices will be drawn from Lueck, A.L., Chen, D., & Hartmann, E. (in press). CVI Companion Guide . Louisville, KY: APH to Lueck, A.L., Chen, D., Kekelis, L.S., & Hartmann, E. (2008). Developmental guidelines for infants with visual impairments. A guidebook for early intervention (2nd.). Louisville, KY: APH. Topics include the possible manifestations of CVI in young children; potential effects of CVI on early development; strategies to promote social-emotional, communication, cognitive, fine-motor and gross-motor development; and application to early intervention home-based services and preschool settings. Content will be shared through discussion, handouts, observations of video clips and small group learning activities. |
