“When teacher has to shut down the activity because it’s approaching end of time, it’s the intervener’s job to give closure to the child.” Mary Gyori, Chair Development Committee and board member @nfadb on closure. #txdbsympo2021 #deafblind #education @TSBVI_Outreach @TXDBProject
"It's the intervener's job to make sure there is time for closure." What a great thought from Mary Gyori on another important role of the intervener. #txdbsympo2021
"You have to have a goal and a plan to know if you've made it in order to get closure."- David Brown. So true! #txdbsympo2021
The Symposium on Deafblind Education will feature Maurice Belote, Project Coordinator of California Deaf-Blind Services, San Francisco. He will present a session on, The Impact of Cognitive Closure on Students who are Deafblind. 3-4PM, Monday, March 22. #TXDBSympo2021
Carolyn Monaco: “It’s hard to argue with services that are helping students’ progress.” #DeafBlind #TXDBSympo2021 Well said. Living, moving evidence-making in progress for others to observe and understand.
Happening now! On Monday #TXDBSympo2021 will feature two outstanding presentations: Transitioning from Early Childhood Intervention to Early Childhood Special Education with a Student who is Deafblind & Education of Students who are Deafblind in the Western Hemisphere.
"We came together and collaborated for our student." #collaboration as an educational team cannot be underestimated as a strategy for teaching children who are #deafblind Great job Katy ISD team! #TXDBSympo2021
“I love the concept of FINDING, NURTURING, and DEVELOPING beginning with the BELIEF that our students do and can communicate. Our role as the TDB is to meet them at their level with the language of touch”. Jennifer Magee #txdbsympo2021
"We have a curriculum too... we just call it 'the child.'" Boom! There it is. #TXDBSympo2021 #Education
"We owe it to all of our fellow travelers on this learning journey to equip them so that they can reveal our exceptional nature. And, in turn, for us to reveal their exceptional nature."- Paul Hart #TXDBSympo2021
Are we watching for and responding to our deafblind communication partner's gestures/language, or are we expecting them to conform to ours? Wow, powerful thoughts from Paul Hart. #TXDBSympo2021
