Teaching Listening Skills
New Professional Resources from the American Foundation for the Blind
Listening skills are a crucial, but often-overlooked area of instruction for children who are
visually impaired and may have multiple disabilities. They relate to the expanded core
curriculum for students and are essential to literacy, independent travel, and sensory and
cognitive development. The American Foundation for the Blind provides comprehensive
professional development resources on this critical topic.
