Play as an Assessment and Programmatic Vehicle in the Early Years

Session Description: Sensory and developmental status can be gleaned from watching and contributing to the play interactions of a young child. Once equipped with this information, the team can continue to use play routines as a place to guide and reinforce next step learning. Information will be shared about how to use early play as a tool for horizontal (increasing generalization of existing concepts and skills) and vertical (scaffolding to the next level of concepts and skills) strategies.

Objectives:
• To introduce participants to a play-based approach as a viable assessment model for infants and toddlers with blindness/visual impairment.
• To illustrate how to embed developmental next step strategies into the play / daily routines of the young child.
