I-M-ABLE MINI WORKSHOP

Instructors: Diane Wormsley

Date: October 17th and 24th

Time: 6:30-8:30pm EST

This mini workshop will provide participants with a brief overview of I-M-ABLE, an approach to teaching braille to students who are visually impaired with additional disabilities who have braille identified as their literacy medium, but who have not been fully successful in learning to read and write using traditional methods of literacy instruction. The workshop will have live zoom meetings on two evenings during which time the components of I-M-ABLE will be introduced. In between the two evening meetings, participants will be required to complete an assignment related to using I-M-ABLE which will be the basis of additional training during the final evening meeting. Participants will leave with resources to utilize when beginning to use I-M-ABLE with a student.
