The Training Strategies Division of the SKI-HI Institute plans, develops, and implements programs and training activities in the following focus areas and also develops materials in these areas:
- Deaf/Hard of Hearing (Projects: SKI-HI, Deaf Mentor, HELP)
- Blind/Visually Impaired (Project: VIISA)
- Deafblind (Projects: Intervener, SPARKLE, FIPSE)
- Multidisabled Sensory Impaired (Project: INSITE)
- All Special Needs (Projects: Child-to-Child, AHEAD, Heritage)
- Training Models, Strategies, Materials for Adult Learners
Detailed information on the projects under each focus area can be found by selecting Projects. The purpose of each focus area is to explore and develop new projects and materials in these areas, in addition to the ones that presently exist.
The focus area on Training Models, Strategies, Materials works to stay up-to-date on best practices in working with adult learners, then incorporates these into the training procedures and materials used by Institute projects. This focus area also works on policies and procedures for ongoing certification and update of state trainers of Institute projects nationwide. It is also responsible for publishing the newsletter, Trainer's Tidings once a year for the network of trainers across the country.
The American Association for Home-Based Early Interventionists (AAHBEI) will sponsor the SE Regional Conference at Simpsonwood in Norcross, Georgia (just outside of Atlanta) July, 2008. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend this conference. More information will be available at a later date.
