Supporting Parent Access to Resources, Knowledge,  Linkages, and Education

for Learners with Dual Sensory Impairment

Join us on February 4th and learn more about:

  • Dual Sensory Impairment/Deaf-blindness:
  • What is it? Does it really describe my child? How can we compensate for my child’s vision and hearing loss?
  • Vision and Hearing:  The impact of combined vision and hearing loss; vision loss adaptations; how hearing works, problems & testing
  • Touch and Communication:  The importance of touch; early experiences with touch; using touch as the basis for communication.
  • Concept Development:  Concepts are the ideas that help us understand the “why” and “meaning” of things.
  • Sensory Learning Kit, Functional Assessments, and more…including strategies for supporting learners with dual sensory impairment.
