Please join us for a Vision Bee Training as we offer examples of ways to build relationships and work with students wherever they are operating. Millie Smith will offer examples of approaches that have produced a significant amount of growth for severe/profound learners who are blind over a period of time. There will be in the trenches examples of practitioners working with the students in the moment while optimizing the neurological and sensory experience. Examples of collaboration with others including therapists, orientation and mobility specialists, teachers and parents will be provided and videos will be used to show learning situations where teaching & collaboration has occurred over weeks & months.
