Hi all,
My daughter is starting Kindergarten in the fall. She is a typically developing
child except for her vision. She can read and write about one-third of the
alphabet and they have started the Patterns program wirth her in pre-school. In
pre-school she is getting 1 hour a day four times a week of vision services. My
question to you is, how much time should a kindergartener receive for direct
services with a TBVI? They are currently suggesting one hour a day. Should
this include direct services for math, reading and writing braille? Should she
be included for any of the regular kindergarten language arts and reading
classes or be pulled to be taught braille the entire time. The current TBVI
suggested modifying the Kindergarten teachers curriculum and having my daughter
work in the classroom with the para helping her. Do kindergarten students
usually use the regular kindergarten reading series with adaptations, or are
they pulled out to be taught braille in place of this? What about science and
social studies? Can a para help with all these subjects or should the TBVI be
doing this? Thanks for your input. Laurie
