Reiman, John, Ed.; Malloy, Peggy, Ed.; Klumph, Randy, Ed.
Deaf-Blind Perspectives Newsletter, v7 n1-3 Fall-Spr 1999-2000
These three issues address topics relating to the education of children with deaf-blindness. The fall 1999 issue features the article, "Central Auditory Processing Disorders: An Overview of Assessment and Management Practices" (Mignon M. Schminky and Jane A. Baran), which discusses symptoms of Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), behavior manifestations of CAPD, how CAPD is assessed, educational implications of CAPD, and management strategies that can be used to remediate CAPD. The winter 1999-2000 issue features the article, "Computers in Our Classrooms" (Wendy L. Buckley), which presents an overview of computer modifications, adaptive equipment, and selected software programs used with children in the Deaf-Blind Programs at Perkins School for the Blind. The examples and ideas that are presented can be applied to a variety of other types of computer equipment and programs. The spring 2000 issue features the article "Lessons from Project PLAI [Promoting Learning through Active Interaction] in California and Utah: Implications for Early Intervention Services to Infants Who Are Deaf-Blind and Their Families" (Deborah Chen, Linda Alsop, and Lavada Minor). This article discusses the success of a project that developed resource materials that early intervention programs could use to teach families how to promote their infants' communication development. The goals, participants, training, and challenges of the PLAI project are described, along with PLAI curriculum modules and a case study. (CR)
