Ok, after I read your postings I had a light bulb moment....I get it now ;) So if he has these glasses for far away, won't that blur (or whatever it would do)...
I'm very nearsighted (20/600) and can see up close with my glasses on. Ivan's PT is also very nearsighted (20/800) and takes off her glasses to see close, but...
I buy clear contact paper (sticky shelf liner paper) from Walmart. That's what Ben's VI had suggested and it works great. On a sad note, Ben is turning 3 in 10...
Keep us posted on Ben's IEP and good luck! And happy birthday to Ben, too! Ivan's IEP meeting has been scheduled for May 8. I'm terrified. Amber ... -- Visit...
There was a posting on another group about nystagmus and headshaking. I know some of your babies have this. So I thought I'd just pass this around: Every one...
All this talk about IEP, I'm wondering how all this works. Brandon's TVI said that she would be with Brandon until he's out of school. But from what you guys...
IDEA (individuals with disabilities education act), recently updated in 2004, calls for children aged 0-3 to receive early intervention services. When they...
Hi, after Riley turned 3, they started a new program. It was hard to see her old TVI teacher leave. The home visits stopped and in the fall, preschool...
Carol, That sounds like a very nice school, especially the small class size and the attention Riley receives. The public special needs preschool here is also...
So, are the school districts to fund for preschool ? Even if Brandon would go to the blind preschool? Or would I have to fight to try to get that? And I think...
I just have a question about developmental growth in blind babies. Of course when I GOODSEARCHED it wonderbaby.org was the first one that popped up :) I want...
It really depends on your school district as to what they want to fund or not fund. I know a mom who says they won't pay tuition for preschool, just center...
Oh, I was in that same place for so long - why is Ivan so delayed? Is this normal? The one thing I found out is that all blind kids are so different! Even kids...
Tana, When did Addie start doing things? She was probably close to 11m before she would do finger foods by herself in a high chair. She would eat them if I...
I'm going to be teaching my daughter's class about braille. Does anybody have ideas on what I could do with them ? I was thinking about getting blindfolds and...
Oh my gosh the paper! I think I'm a pretty together kind of person but it took me FOREVER to figure out how to put paper in that machine! My husband could do...
Amber I must say your not making me feel any better about the paper thing...lol :) I'll have to see if hubby can do it, although he gets more frustrated then...
Hi Tana, I did this at my school. Not Riley's but the 2nd grader's that I worked with.I broke the class into 4 groups of 6. Each group did something different...
Wow Carol, you're awesome! That sounds like so much fun. I wish someone had come to my school when I was a kid and done that! Amber ... -- Visit Ivan's web...
Howdy, Please email me off line if you're interested, but some time next week Acer and I will go pick up twelve beeping eggs from the Michigan State Police...
Hi Heather, that sounds wonderful. I am busy next Tuesday at lunch time but after that my schedule is pretty open. That was very thoughtful of you.I did buy...
CC, Maybe I could send them to work with DH Bill at the Independence Twp Library? That's pretty close to you right? Please email em too, I'm putting all my...
Hi again, actually I have never heard of that library. I looked it up and it sounds like it is in Clarkston. I live near Brighton, Mi. I think that is about an...
Brandon just had his 6 month evaluation. And, well, appearently his TVI isn't doing what she's suppose to be doing, and the head honcho lady said that I should...
Wow, great day! And you already had a feeling you might need a new TVI so it's nice they brought that up. I numbered my braille keys and then drew a little...
Thanks you guys, I'm pretty happy about it all :) I was brailling a little bit tonight and now i'm REALLY starting to remember what the letter's look like :)...
A lesson that should be taught in all schools! Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social studies school teacher at...
I went to a talk by a lady from national braille press and she said that legally ALL restaurants should have a braille menu. Of course they don't usually. She...
Oh, museums often have info in braille too. Actually, you'll be amazed how many places DO have braille if you start asking. Amber ... -- Visit Ivan's web...
