<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi fellow TVIs:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I ateaching a student independent living skills.
The student is visually impaired and has additional disabilities; the student is
nonverbal and nonambulatory; the student has very good receptive language skills
and benefigs from guidance physically hand-over-hand and gask analyysis to teach
the current skills. My questions is that I will be writing an annual progress
report about this student and plan to include that the expanded core curriculum
includes teaching visually impaired studentw with additional disabilities
independent living skills. The CSe may ascounter that the classroom teacher can
teach skills of activities of daily living. How do I counteract this rebutal in
my annual progress report. Inf anyyone can provide me with how to justify my
teaching this skills besides the expanded core curriculum please inform me how
to write this annual progress report. I plan to finish all progress reports over
the weekend for all my students.The student's parent is extremely involved in
this child's education and is happy with the skills I am working with the child.
I do try to inform the parent of this student progress over the phone when
possible. </FONT></DIV>
