Health Literacy Out Loud
Health literacy for children and youth who are blind or visually impaired, including those with multiple disabilities or deafblindness.
In this podcast, Health Education for Children with Disabilities, Charlotte Cushman talks with Helen Osborne about:
- Understanding the learning challenges of students who are blind, deaf-blind, or have other physical and cognitive disabilities.
- Using tactile objects, picture books, technology, clear explanations, and other strategies to teach about health.
- Working as a team with the student, family members, teachers, and interpreters.
A transcript of the podcast is included, as is a list of resources for health literacy for students who are blind or visually impaired, including those who have multiple disabilities or deafblindness.
