[PIBE-Division] Fwd: Free Seminar, Why Observational Learning Just Doesn't Cut It for Blind Students

[Heather Bird]

Please come and join us for a free virtual seminar presented through a
collaborative effort of the New York State Braille Enrichment for Literacy
and Learning (BELL) Academy, and the New York Parents of Blind Children
Division.



This seminar will be held using the Zoom platform and will take place on
Thursday evening, the 21st of October 2021, from 6:30 P.M. until 8:00 P.M.
EST.  Come and discover why observational learning just doesn’t cut it for
blind children and students and, more importantly, how to use other methods
to help blind students to meet the same high expectations that their
sighted peers are held to, at home, at school, and in the community.



We will explore the pros and cons of observational learning for blind and
sighted learners, discuss the benefits and challenges to hands-on learning,
and examine the barriers to implementing hands-on-learning, and how to
overcome them.



This content is especially valuable to parents of blind children and TVIs,
however, O & M and AT instructors, OT and PT therapists, and anyone else
who works with, lives with, or cares about the futures of blind children
are welcome to attend and can benefit from this information.



Please share this with anyone you think may find this presentation of
interest. There will be door prizes, a Q & A segment, and an electronic
handout available.
