sharing information on topics that often pose difficult questions and decisions to us
as TSVI's: workload management and providing developmentally appropriate
movement activities for our students who are blind and deafblind with multiple
disabilities. In addition, the pre-conference will once again provide all of us with
updates from the APH Connect Center.
