<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi, all - a quick question ...<BR><BR>How can I help my
totally blind student become more aware of the "body language" and unspoken
messages that we all encounter every day?<BR><BR>(I just wrote it as an IEP
goal... now, how am I going to teach and evaluate it?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am not referring to the body language exhibited by a
blind child, but of the body language shown by others in his presence. For
example, a student in class with his head down on his arm could be sick - or
bored. A student sitting in a leaning back position with his/her legs crossed
could be relaxed, a student sitting at the edge of the seat could be anxious or
have to go to the bathroom. Rolling eyes could mean exasperation or contempt. My
student can't see any of this, yet each one conveys meaning that I would like
him to understand.</FONT><BR><BR>Sheila</DIV></BODY></HTML>
