During this session we will explore ideas and questions for the adult interaction partner; How do we join our student’s in sharing their world, a world experienced through touch? How do we arouse curiosity? What is the path to bonding? Why must we recognize and affirm communication before a formal language can be co-created? This session wiil include strategies to for professionals to identify communicative expressions and initiate quality interactions with their students.
Topics will include:
Experiencing the world through the sense of touch; how to initiate interaction, share meaningful experiences, and co-create a mutually understood language with our students who are deafblind and who have complex learning needs?
The Five steps of Interaction; With the use of video examples, we will discuss five essential elements for beginning, maintaining, and closing an interactive conversation through tactile-bodily communication modes.
