Reach Out and Teach: Helping Your Child Who is Visually Impaired Learn and Grow
The empowering guide that taught parents and teachers how to promote the development of young children with visual and multiple impairments is now available in an exciting new edition! Reach Out and Teach reflects the concerns of today’s families and professionals as well as the latest research on learning in infancy and early childhood. A must-have resource, Reach Out and Teach has been specially designed for both families and the professionals who work with them.
Reach Out and Teach includes new and expanded information on:
• The different learning needs of young children who are visually impaired
• Skills to focus on at different ages
• Effective ways of using everyday activities and routines to teach skills and encourage learning, with specific step-by-step suggestions
• Strategies for navigating early intervention services and the transition to elementary school
• Behaviors to promote in children with visual impairments for success in preschool and kindergarten
• Adaptations, assistive technology, and other tools that can help young children in the classroom
This was one of the first books we read when we found out our son was blind and it was a huge help. The advice is very practical and they have lots of pictures to explain what they are talking about. I also really liked the section on infant development which explained why my son may not be reacting the way sighted babies normally would.
