What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 17, 2026
A professional reference book for educators and specialists who work with students who have visual impairments, covering how to teach social skills that sighted peers pick up incidentally — things like reading body language, knowing when to smile, or interpreting the social cues embedded in everyday environments. Students with blindness or low vision often miss the visual feedback loop that teaches these skills naturally, so this book provides structured frameworks for direct instruction. It's aimed at TVIs (teachers of students with visual impairments), orientation and mobility specialists, and school psychologists — not intended as a student-facing tool. This is a print book, not a curriculum kit, so implementation depends heavily on the practitioner's ability to translate the theory into classroom or session activities.
