The guide is based on the premise that daily living skills are to be learned in natural settings and with real life applications whenever possible. A team approach is emphasized. It cannot be assumed that visually impaired adolescents will acquire independent life skills such as money management through incidental learning. A team involving the student, parents, vision teachers, and classroom teachers must work together to provide instruction that accommodates the student's needs, visually and otherwise. The kit includes tools that can be useful to all members of this team.
Availability is anticipated in early Spring.
Inc. The new series contains important features that provide significant security against counterfeiting. The Basic Tactile Anatomy Atlas is a new two-volume reference designed to aid blind and visually impaired students in the study of the human body. The Atlas was taken from a larger set of anatomy tactile graphics designed at the State University of New York at Buffalo for college-level study. With permission of the authors, Drs. Judith Tamburlin and Charles Severin, many of the more technical drawings were omitted and the text simplified to make this set usable to a wide range of grade levels.
