Tactile Strategies for Children Who Have Visual Impairments and Multiple Disabilities: Promoting Communication and Learning Skills

In order to promote their growth, development, and ability
to communicate, young children who are visually impaired
and have additional disabilities need to learn to use their
sense of touch effectively and develop skills that are not
necessarily based on the use of vision. Highlighting
critical information for families as well as for
communication experts, this user-friendly new manual
provides you with both essential information about
alternative communication and countless practical
strategies and insights to create effective solutions for
working with children. Teachers, early interventionists,
and parents looking for valuable techniques will find them
here, on topics ranging from how to assess a child's
tactile skills to how to interact effectively with children
and plan interventions. The suggestions and insights in
this book will be welcome additions to your
teaching plans.
