INNOCENCE AND EXPERIENCE


This book covers vision impairment during pre-school years. It also considers in practical ways communication, sensory development, independence and teaching strategies.

Information within will enable you to work at home on areas once considered the remit of disability teachers and therapists. Specifically you will address communication, maximising sight and hearing, touch and smell. To help deliver these you are also offered teaching strategies.

There is a lot for those multi-disabled and visually impaired too; for example, addressing physical development along with mannerisms in toddlers.

INNOCENCE AND EXPERIENCE is one of a trilogy which also includes MANAGING THE NOISE and PITTER PATTER.

To encourage the vital area of communication, sensory and physical development each one is also crammed full of nursery rhymes, action songs and bed time stories.
