Webinar: Tactile Language Part 5, Language development in the tactile modality through outdoor activities
Handicap
How do we communicate with someone without using our vision or hearing? There are many ways for communication partners to support and help develop tactile language in a dialogue with a person with congenital deafblindness. This is the fifth lecture in a series of webinars during this spring. Once a month we present and discuss a chapter in the book If you can see it you can support it.
These five webinars are based on different chapter of our book If you can see it you can support it. They consist of theory, knowledge, tools, practical ideas, and tips on how to support and give the best opportunities for language development in a tactile modality, so that the person with congenital deafblindness is recognised as a human being using language.
Language must be sensorily accessible
Lecturer: Joe Gibson

This webinar will explore why outdoor activities have been so successful as a way of developing tactile language and a subject of conversations in the tactile modality. It will also look at ways we can maximise the opportunities for communication development before, during and after the activities.
The lecture is based on chapter 11 in the book If you can see it, you can support it – A book on tactile language. Prepare by reading the chapter.
