Session 1: November 2-4, 2022 The purpose of this course is for participants to gain and develop skills in understanding the unique needs of preschoolers who are blind or visually impaired in a center-based setting. The focus will be on working with these children in the preschool setting, as well as in collaboration with the family and other members of the service delivery team. Transition from the preschool to the elementary school setting will also be addressed. Participants will gain knowledge and skills in observation, assessment, the IEP process, intervention techniques, use of appropriate methods, curricula, and materials in teaching skills in all developmental domains, developing the use of all senses, meeting the child's needs in a group setting, socialization, school readiness, early literacy, and orientations and mobility. |
