Infants learn to communicate with adults first through body to body contact, movement and facial expressions. Through experience, children learn to use signaling and objects to communicate to more people. Direct, person-to-person interactions are foundational and show that a child understands that communication happens between people. Once these skills are mastered, an electronic device can be introduced to make communication more efficient and effective.

Captioning will be provided, if you need anything else, please email Kaycee Bennett. Some logistics will be different with our Coffee Hours, as compared to the past, but you can expect the same commitment to providing information, discussion, and collaboration on topics important to students who are blind, visually impaired, or Deafblind.
