What do you do when...
The "What Do You Do When…" Tutorial Series is a self-paced collection of tutorials created by instructional leaders working in the fields of severe and sensory disabilities. The tutorials are designed to familiarize teachers with research-based and promising practices that facilitate the inclusion of students who are visually impaired, deaf or hard of hearing, deaf-blind, or who have severe disabilities into various educational environments. Included within the tutorials are resources and activities designed to support learning.

Examples of topics we may include are: alternative or functional academic skills, including communication and literacy modes; use of assistive technology; recreation and leisure skills; social skill development; self-determination/self advocacy; independent living skills; transition planning/career education; and family skill development.
