In addition, I will explain to participants the structure of the sessions that will follow. Sessions will be devoted to content in the following areas: Conveying high expectations, encouraging socialization, refining nonvisual techniques or compensatory skills, providing realistic feedback, and promoting opportunities for work. Sessions will focus on activities for children, youth, and their parents based on age range (preschool, elementary, middle school, high school, and postsecondary) and ability levels (informational, instructional, and advocacy). Each session will include a PowerPoint presentation and a related resources list. January 20, 2021 |
