Personal Safety Curriculum for Children with Vision Impairments

I've got another fabulous, FREE resource. This one is from the California School for the Blind. They have put together a comprehensive curriculum called Safe and Sound. It's free and downloadable into a Word doc from their site. You can access Safe and Sound on the CSB website under the Learning Resources tab.

Here's the direct link:http://www.csb-cde.ca.gov/learning_resources.htm

Safe and Sound is a safety awareness curriculum. It includes a "how to" teach this curriculum as well as pre & post tests for assessment. Each unit is broken down into topics with coordinating lessons, accommodations and tips for teaching. I think it's a resource we all need to go through. It's quite comprehensive and a great resource for teams. It was written by a vision professional team of orientation and mobility instructors and TVIs.

I urge my parents of all ages students to review this material. We need to teach human development, personal safety and self-defense in very unique, precise, realistic ways. It's nothing to shy away from! Consult your TVI for more tips and/or resources on teaching human development. I will also post some resources this fall.
