Susanne Morgan Morrow presents this short video on tactile sign. In the video she will discuss the importance of reducing visual clutter, hand placement, touch and respect of touch.

Provides an overview of the skills a student should have prior to initiating teaching tacts of actions and provides models of techniques that will allow assessment of a student’s existing repertoire of skills related to tacts of actions.

Provides suggestions for extending basic tacts of actions in combination with a student’s ability to tact objects to use of two component tacts. The segment suggests ways to encourage novel recombination of verb-noun tacts so that learners acquire generative skills.

Teachers play various roles within our school settings all with the common goal of student success. Teachers of the Deaf, specifically, have a unique role for a population of our students. Here from Deb Genet with the Capital Area Intermediate Unit on how these individuals bring a global perspective to the IEP team.

Errorless procedures for teaching tacts of parts and features are described and demonstrated. The video includes description of procedures to insure that the tact of parts and features is under the correct discriminative control. The process suggests early steps in developing conditional verbal discriminations through training responses related to tact of the object versus tacts of the specific parts and features. Also discussed are programmatic considerations related to building flexible tact repertoires in which shared parts and features can be tacted across various exemplars.

Dr. Louisa Moats discusses the complexities of reading and how the IDA Knowledge and Practice Standards should be used to help build professional capacity.

Classroom setting, instructional strategies, and accommodations are introduced in this video as important ways to provide access to the child who is deaf or hard of hearing.

A brief review of strategies that will assist students in transferring skills acquired in direct teaching protocols to day to day situations in which tacts of parts and features may be useful.
