In High School i had a Work Study program where I spent 2 hours with students with various conditions. This taught me very valuable lessons that I carried throughout my life, Iam now 50 one of them she was deaf/blind and she was so incredibly wholesome and intelligent in her own way ,at the end of the work-week i would give her parents an update on her progress id also be si encouraged by this because she would show up everyday excited to learn new things. Although her parents would say it was just a small step i knew on a larger scale she was very brilliant. 💜🌄
Is that device u are talking about called a “light talker”? I remember working at New England pediatric care in Massachusetts, and one of the boys there had one of these machines. He could tap on different “symbols/names etc. using a headswitch n it would then formulate full sentences for the intended person. It was wicked cool!
You say the child can feel teaching materials so they know what lesson they're learning, but I still don't understand how they learn in the first place what the materials symbolize while being deaf and blind. How is this communicated in the first place in a way they can understand?
I’m desperate for a communication device for my non-verbal, extremely tactually defensive DB student. He has no vision, learns best auditorily and has a cochlear implant. What device was your little girl using?
