My son Liam (a happy, social, deaf-blind preschooler) has an intervener/interpreter that is with him at school. Liam’s intervener and I wanted to create a conversation box that he could use at school. We came up with an experience Liam enjoys and a topic that would encourage conversation: making toast with jelly at our house!
My 4 ½-year-old, deaf-blind son Liam identifies both people he knows and people he meets by their identifiers. For most people an identifier may be a ring, watch, bracelet, etc.
My 4-year-old, deafblind son Liam goes to gymnastics every Friday; a perfect opportunity for us to have a ‘go’ at making our first experience book together.
My son became deafblind a year ago from Meningitis when he was 2 and 1/2 years old. Before he became sick, one of his favorite things was to be read to and look at books. I didn't want that to stop just because he lost his sight and hearing. I have created many books for Liam that match his interests and encourage his love for reading. Below are 4 examples of books that I have made for little Liam. I always try to use REAL LIFE OBJECTS, not abstract, as often as I can.
