Communication of Children with Multiple Disabilities and Sensory Loss

This seminar aims to give participants an understanding that all children, even those with the most significant disabilities are communicating with us each day. Participants will learn about the impact of communication challenges on the learning and lives of severe disabilities. They will learn about the forms, functions, content and context of communication and the strategies for creating communication rich environments that are founded in meaningful conversation that build relationships and become the foundation for all learning. We will also discuss challenging behaviors as communication. Participants will learn strategies to be a more competent communication partner with learners who have multiple disabilities. Participants will be exposed to a myriad of strategies that will foster ways to help students reach their potential despite their challenges in language development. All topics will be addressed through a combination of lecture, discussion, video analysis and other learning activities.
