Assignment (complete while watching the presentation "Co-Creating Meaning Part 1"): Shared Experiences
Takeaway
When an intervener shares experiences with a student through reciprocal interactions, she lays the groundwork for communication development. The possibility to co-create meaning from a student's movements, sounds, and touch comes from a willingness of the intervener to immerse herself in the deaf-blind perspective of the student.
