“Use typical literacy strategies. Many techniques used by parents and teachers for supporting literacy development for children without additional disabilities can be useful for all children. Examine the child’s unique needs and modify the technique as appropriate. For example, reading aloud to a child is always important. Children with additional disabilities benefit from listening to a story being read aloud just like children without disabilities. Some modifications might be needed, such as positioning a child who has a physical disability so he or she can be involved in the experience by examining and turning the pages of the book.”<\/p>\n

Pogrund, R. L., & Fazzi, D. L. (Eds.).\u00a0(2002). Early focus: Working with young children who are blind or visually impaired and their families. New York, NY: AFB Press.<\/p>\n

Strategies that typically require a verbal response from a child can be accommodated by the adult inserting a pause, allowing time for the\u00a0learner to process the information.\u00a0\u00a0The adult should then verbally provide the\u00a0answer themselves. This allows the opportunity for the child to think about what the answer will be, and then be provided with correct response.<\/p>\n
