“I love the concept of FINDING, NURTURING, and DEVELOPING beginning with the BELIEF that our students do and can communicate. Our role as the TDB is to meet them at their level with the language of touch”. Jennifer Magee

Great presentation from #DrJudeNicholas on Tactile Working Memory. His Tactile Cognitive Strategies for promoting cognitive strategies that support #TactileWorkingMemory are especially helpful! #TXDBSympo2021 #deafblind
ALT Powerpoint slide: Narrative memory strategy: supporting the person to formulate a personal memory of an event in a narrative format; Association strategy: supporting the person to sequentially touch and associate the new information with things she/he already knows; Chunking strategy: providing a sequential strategy in which the bodily-tactile information is arranged in step-by-step order; Tactile-spatial rehearsal strategy: guiding the person to repeat the "to-be-remembered" bodily-tactile information in a purposeful manner; Metacognitive conversation strategy: engaging the person to think consciously about his/her learning and thinking processes.

Dr.Cameron, #NFADB strives to be the charging station for families with individuals who are Deaf-Blind by empowering them. We believe: individuals who are DB are valued members of their communities & should have the same opportunities and choices as others. #TXDBSympo2021

To paraphrase Dr. Judy Cameron, if adults can let go of control and trust that if you can make learning something the child wants to do, the child’s learning will “go gangbusters.”#followthechild #TXDBSympo2021

Dr. Judy Cameron: "This community, these resources, the fact that there's a [#DeafBlind] symposium, and we're getting people from all over the world to participate. This is an ultimate charging station." I wholeheartedly agree with you! #TXDBSympo2021

Helpful to hear from #DrJudyCameron that it's never too late to build new #NeuralPathways! We don't all need to have the exact same pathway. Other brain circuits can be used for those who are #deafblind #blind. Think creatively about what will work for this child. #TXDBSympo2021
