Alberta Society For The Visually Impaired (ASVI) - Edmonton

Today's adaptive technology offers students who are blind and those with visual impairments the opportunity to "level the playing field" with their sighted peers. The parents of these accomplished students frequently spent enormous amounts of time and effort on advocating, fundraising and obtaining donations from outside their school systems to ensure their children had what they needed.

Join parents, paraprofessionals and others in learning the skills that will enable you to assist your child or a student with whom you may be working. An orientation and mobility instructor will share some strategies on how to reinforce O&M skills throughout a regular daily routine. Human guide (sighted guide) techniques, cane skills, orientation and problem solving tips and tricks will be discussed, as well as other areas relevant to the participants. Participants have the opportunity to discover how the world may be experienced by a student with a visual impairment.
