questions based off the student's skills before and after the students were
taught these systems. I was also able to work closely with one TVI and her
student who used tactile symbols as their main form of communication. I
included several strategies that this student's educational team used with her
tactile symbols. Some of these strategies include: creating book reports with
the symbols and combining tactile symbols with braille. An additional strategy
was combining labeled symbols with technology such as the Logan
Proxytalker for students who have some hearing to receive auditory
confirmation of the symbol they chose to answer a question or make a
request with. I felt that my presentation went very well and I had many
members of CEC come to hear me discuss my research at length. Several
members also took pictures of the example strategies that were presented to
use for their own students.
