INCLUSION FOR ALL: Communication Strategies
Across the Spectrum Webinar
People with developmental or intellectual disabilities may and do experience hearing and vision loss. Some may also be deaf-blind, having a combined vision and hearing loss. How can we assure that any one who is experiencing these life challenges can still have an inclusive life – participate in activities with peers, communicate their desires and angst, make known their wishes and wants when perhaps they have limited or no formal communication skills and or limited or no vision and hearing.
