Title Profile: Everyday Activities to Promote Visual Efficiency: A Handbook for Working With Young Children with Visual Impairments by Ellen Trief and Rona Shaw
Most infants and toddlers who are visually impaired have some functional vision that they will be able to use for everyday activities and that can be used to support their learning and development. Early intervention services are essential for these children to help them use their vision with maximum effectiveness, right from the start. Everyday Activities provides simple activities that can be incorporated easily by families and service providers into the everyday routines of a baby or child to facilitate early visual development and use of functional vision. The book is available for $45.95 from AFB Press. To order, call 1-800-232-3044 or go to www.afb.org/store.
