Participants will earn a certificate of attendance documenting completion of 5.5 hours of professional development. This interactive workshop is an introduction to working with students who have multiple disabilities and limited communication skills and who are blind, deafblind, or visually impaired, in Pre-K to Grade 12. Through simulations and demonstrations, participants will gain an understanding of common eye disorders, strategies for learning, and accommodations for the environment. Participants will learn to develop meaningful interactions with students through the use of touch, object cues, sound, and movement. Communication calendar systems will also be demonstrated. Other topics include cortical visual impairment, object experience books, active learning spaces, orientation & mobility simulation, iPad apps, and hand-under-hand technique. Please talk with your TVI to determine if this workshop benefit your family. Families are encouraged to attend! Contact Tina Gutierrez at with any questions
