Braille Mathematics K – 6: Unravelling the MysteryDate: 9 MayFee: $200Presenter: Josie HowseInformation:This workshop will identify all relevant principles essential in having a true understanding of Braille transcription of mathematical material K – 6. It will address the various Braille code signs and modes and give a comprehensive understanding of why things are brailled as they are when an almost identical item is brailled differently. It will also address the various algorithms and long division layout common for students in this level. The critical ingredient in producing accurate mathematical braille production is to have a clear understanding of “WHY”. The workshop will give ample opportunity to ask questions and challenge your understanding with exciting “hands-on” the Perkins by producing numerous and typical examples. This workshop is the fore-runner to the Braille Mathematics 7 – 12 workshop where the principles learnt in the primary context will further expand and develop.

Information:Day 1. Vocabulary for SuccessIn this workshop attendees will learn about the importance of vocabulary learning, the connection between vocabulary and literacy, the components of good vocabulary teaching and an effective vocabulary intervention that The Centre on Literacy and Deafness has conducted with Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) children in Kindergarten through second grade. DHH children are often delayed in learning vocabulary and consequently in reading comprehension. In this workshop we’ll discuss what it means to know a word, what words should be taught, and how to teach them. Shirin will share the steps of a vocabulary intervention we have adapted from successful interventions conducted with young hearing children and show evidence of success with DHH children. Day 2. Developing Social Competence in Deaf and Hard of Hearing childrenDeaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) children with communication difficulties or delays are also at risk for social difficulties. The ability to function well in a variety of social situations is critical for success at school and, later in life, at work. In this workshop attendees will learn about the various aspects of social competence including social skills and social relationships. Shirin will briefly outline what we know about DHH children’s social competence. Shirin will share a framework for developing social competence and how families, communities and teachers can create environments that promote social competence and self-determination. Vision Surveillance and Screening for the Nursing Profession Presenter: Sue SilveiraDate: 6 JuneFee: $50 Information:This day will present a focus on early identification of eye and vision problems in children aged 0-5 years, through the practice of vision surveillance and vision screening. Current surveillance and screening protocols will be discussed in the broad context of identification of eye and vision conditions. Intended Audience:This forum will be of interest to nurses working in early childhood, both novices and experienced professionals.
