You might send out a message to the AER listserve--it is usually TVI related questions. Also, Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired has a set of books called "Independent Living" that is for teaching skills to kids. They have detailed lists of what types of skills kids should be able to do, assessment tools, and and short lesson plans. If I recall correctly, there are three books, and one of them is specifically about daily living skills. Actually, here is a link for it. Volume 2 is the one for ADLs. http://www.tsbvi.edu/publications/il.htm Julie Adkins, MA, CVRT Julie Adkins, MA, CVRT Certified Vision Rehabilitation Therapist Metrolina Association for the Blind 704 Louise Avenue Charlotte, NC 28204 704-887-5121 www.mabnc.org CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipients(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
