So glad you could join us today! :) 12:09:31 From TSBVI Outreach Media : The handout for today’s Coffee Hour can be found here: https://tsbvi.live/coffeehour 12:10:48 From Charlotte Cushman : I love watching this progression from Jack being “stuck” on his belly at the start to sitting up independently by the end! I think this is a nice illustration of how Active Learning can help to promote development. 12:11:45 From Charlotte Cushman : Many of you have been asking how to get teams to “buy in” to Active Learning. I think this video of Rylan is a great way to show people the power of Active Learning. 12:12:02 From TSBVI Outreach Media : The handout for today’s Coffee Hour can be found here: https://tsbvi.live/coffeehour 12:12:03 From Kate Hurst : Sometimes we think a child is too tired or weak to be active, but when we give them something they are interested in to do they get active. 12:12:07 From Viewer to All panelists : It looks like the presentation is captioned. Should I only caption the parts that aren't? 12:12:32 From Marcy Meachum : Jack seems so much happier when engaged. 12:13:05 From Charlotte Cushman : Note that all of the videos of children that we’ll be seeing today are on the Active Learning Space site: https://activelearningspace.org/video-index 12:13:13 From Kate Borg : Yes Marcy. I noticed as well! Look at how engagement changes his whole demeanor! 12:13:15 From Brittany Smith to All panelists : Does anyone know that name of that swing? 12:13:25 From Kate Hurst : Yes, Marcy, and having joy in our lives makes us more interested in learning about the world around us. 12:13:50 From Marcy Meachum : Absolutely 12:14:01 From Kate Hurst : Brittany, I don't remember right now, but if you email me later I can get it for you. 12:14:36 From Kate Hurst : hurstk@tsbvi.edu 12:14:44 From Charlotte Cushman : Brittany: The swing is called a Shy Curve Platform Swing and is available from Hearth Song or Sam’s Club 12:15:01 From Kate Hurst : Oh, thanks Charlotte! 12:15:01 From Charlotte Cushman : ** SKY Curve 12:15:17 From Charlotte Cushman : https://www.hearthsong.com/p/p/730687 12:15:54 From Charlotte Cushman : I think this is SUCH a powerful video illustrating the importance of meeting a child at their developmental level. 12:16:16 From Brittany Smith : Thanks Charlotte!!! 12:16:42 From Charlotte Cushman : You can find the Home Hacks here: https://activelearningspace.org/families/home-hacks/home-hacks-overview 12:16:52 From Kate Hurst : Sometimes we see "problem" behaviors that come directly from over estimating the child's developmental level, especially if they are more developed in fine and gross motor skills. 12:17:47 From Karie Correll to All panelists : I'm looking forward to browsing these Home Hacks to share with my students' families. 12:17:52 From Charlotte Cushman : A lot of you asked about ideas for remote instruction for Active Learning and the Home Hacks section has lots of ideas! https://activelearningspace.org/families/home-hacks/home-hacks-overview 12:18:28 From Charlotte Cushman : Yes, Katie! It can be helpful to watch the video together (sharing your screen via Zoom) and brainstorming together about what might work with them. 12:19:02 From Kate Hurst : There are also a lot of good idea in the Implementation - Motor Development page. https://activelearningspace.org/implementation/motor-development/motor-development-overview 12:19:13 From TSBVI Outreach Media : The handout for today’s Coffee Hour can be found here: https://tsbvi.live/coffeehour 12:19:22 From Charlotte Cushman : If you are new to Active Learning and if this seems to be moving quickly, you can take your time and explore all of this on the Active Learning Space site. 12:20:25 From Charlotte Cushman : I love this video because I think it really shows how quietly the adult is sitting there without interfering or directing. 12:20:44 From Kate Hurst : Using the Active Learning Space as a way to share information and ideas with family members is always a good idea. You might want to use the downloadable guide found on the home page to help you become more familiar with the content and where it is located. https://activelearningspace.org/images/downloads/Getting_Started_with_Active_Learning_2019ver.pdf 12:20:57 From Charlotte Cushman : This video also shows how MANY objects can be made available at one time. 12:23:34 From Charlotte Cushman : Some of you have your hands up. If you have a question, please type it in the chat. 12:24:21 From Charlotte Cushman : Notice the use of Hand UNDER Hand (not hand-over-hand) 12:26:34 From Charlotte Cushman : If you don’t know about these phases, we invite you to learn more about them on the Active Learning Space site. 12:30:08 From Charlotte Cushman : This can be SUCH a hard thing for us as teachers or parents to allow children to make mistakes and experience consequences. 12:30:32 From Charlotte Cushman : https://activelearningspace.org/images/downloads/ActiveLearningPlanningSheet2020Rev.pdf 12:34:00 From Marcy Meachum : Oh what a great idea! 12:34:10 From Charlotte Cushman : You can find this quick guide here: https://activelearningspace.org/images/downloads/QuickGuideActiveLearningEquipment.pdf 12:34:20 From Marcy Meachum : Thank you! 12:35:18 From Melody Shipman : Can the equipment be shipped across the country or is it just local rental? 12:35:21 From Kate Hurst : The guide should also be in your handout. 12:35:50 From TSBVI Outreach Media : The handout for today’s Coffee Hour can be found here: https://tsbvi.live/coffeehour 12:36:45 From Charlotte Cushman : Good question, Melody. TSBVI lends equipment for the use of students in Texas. Some other states have similar lending programs. What state are you in? 12:37:06 From Melody Shipman : Mass 12:37:27 From Cheryl Wold to All panelists : Oregon 12:37:47 From Charlotte Cushman : If you’re connected to Perkins, you can find out if they have material you can borrow to try out. 12:38:01 From Kate Hurst : You can also purchase equipment from lilliworks.org. 12:38:23 From Melody Shipman : Yes I'm connected to Perkins. I will check with them 12:38:52 From Diana Fitzpatrick to All panelists : is there a link you can share that takes is to this? 12:39:02 From Cheryl Wold to All panelists : thank you! 12:39:11 From Diana Fitzpatrick : is there a link you can share that takes is to this? 12:39:13 From Charlotte Cushman to Melody Shipman, All Panelists : Melody, you can also contact me at charlotte.cushman@perkins.org, if you get stuck. 12:39:16 From Diana Fitzpatrick : us 12:39:32 From Melody Shipman : Thank you. 12:39:39 From Charlotte Cushman : Diana, do you mean the whole presentation or a specific part? 12:39:44 From Kate Hurst : Diana, what exactly do you want a link for? 12:40:19 From Kate Hurst : If you download the handout there are links to everything we have mentioned. 12:40:35 From TSBVI Outreach Media : The handout for today’s Coffee Hour can be found here: https://tsbvi.live/coffeehour 12:40:46 From Kate Borg : You can find this presentation along with the other archives at https://tsbvi.edu/coffeehour 12:43:39 From Melissa Powell : Do we need to fill out the "webinar sign-in form" on the google dirve link? 12:44:36 From Jessica McCavit : I think the remote instruction has also helped us strengthen collaboration with many other professionals that work with our children that we may not always get a chance to collaborate with 12:45:05 From Charlotte Cushman : Yes, Jessica! There is more time to connect with others now. 12:45:10 From Kate Borg : Melissa, no. I'm not sure why it is there, but do not worry about it. 12:45:44 From Veronica Baca to All panelists : I have one student who is not motivated by anything but a small music toy. I 12:46:18 From Veronica Baca to All panelists : I've tried other musical toys but he has no interest in them. Any suggestions? 12:46:52 From Charlotte Cushman : Veronica, this might be a nice time to fill out the Active Learning Planning sheet with the family and therapists. Sometimes it’s helpful to brainstorm with members of the whole team. 12:47:49 From Charlotte Cushman : It’s also really important to watch and observe the child. Maybe the child is sucking on his fingers or staring at the lights, and those can be motivators too. It may not always be toys. 12:47:59 From Veronica Baca to All panelists : Mom helped me purchase the same musical toy he has at home. 12:48:36 From Charlotte Cushman to All panelists : Lowell: can you make Jessica McCavit a co-host so she can talk? Or maybe we can just unmute her mike? 12:50:17 From Veronica Baca to All panelists : He is completely blind, has some hearing loss and is non verbal. I have brainstormed with therapists and the only other thing he is motivated by is a swing in the PT's room. 12:50:29 From Veronica Baca to All panelists : I really appreciate your help 12:52:12 From Veronica Baca to All panelists : thank you, I have to attend another zoom meeting. 12:52:55 From Kate Hurst : Veronica, look at what the child is doing for self-stimulation which might give you some ideas about what the child can do and is motivated by. For example, does the child mouth things....offer him a variety of objects to mouth...some objects might be food items like a sucker, or it might be a wooden object that has a different taste and texture. try to identify properities that are appealing. We can talk more in an email if you want to share your email address with me. 12:54:04 From Sally Garlick : idea for light gazers, a colleague uses the colored tranparent sheets that come with lightbox and makes a half tube to hold loosely way from but around the child's face -- slowly changing back and forth from natural to colored light 12:55:42 From Kate Borg to All panelists : Need to wrap up in 1 or 2 minutes. 12:55:46 From Sandra De La O : Any tips for students who are in ECI and not yet one year old 12:55:57 From Jessica McCavit : It is very helpful to give the caregivers/parents as much notice as possible if there is a lesson “theme”, topic, book etc., that you are going to want to talk about virtually, so they can gather appropriate items for their child to explore! I think this makes the session feel even more meaningful for both the adult and child 12:56:53 From Charlotte Cushman : Hi Sandra, That’s a really big question, as it depends on the individual child — what they’re interested in, what they can do independently, what they’re working on. 12:57:12 From Charlotte Cushman : Great idea, Jessica, thank you! 12:58:51 From Tom Miller : Thank you for an excellent presentation and for developing this valuable resource 12:59:09 From Marcy Meachum : Wonderful coffee hour!
