offer up to six ACVREP professional development hours. The day will consist of
Dr. Penny Rosenblum discussing "Finding Wheels", Monique Coleman, M.A. on
"Creating Culturally Responsive Approaches to Teaching: Words of Wisdom for
TSVIs and O&Ms", and Linda Hagood, M.A. on "Reading, Writing, and Self-
Regulation: The Importance of Touch Movement, & Relationships". I am so
excited about these speakers sharing their research and expertise on these crucial
topics. Thank you to our sponsors (Allied Instructional Services, Maryland School
for the Blind, and American Printing House for the Blind in helping to make this
day possible.
I am excited to look ahead to the CEC 2021 Convention in March. Although
we cannot be together face to face for CEC 2021, having the conference virtually
allows more educators, students, and families to attend. The Division on Visual
Impairment and Deafblindness will be featuring over 22 sessions that will available
on demand from March 8
th
through the 31
st
. As well as having sessions available
on demand, the conference will have some sessions live between March 8
th
and
March 13
th
. We hope you can tune into some of these and connect with others in
the field.
I want to take time to thank the DVIDB executive board for all of your time
and dedication to our division. Your work is greatly appreciated. Enjoy this issue!
