Social Skills

Earn Credits
Presented by Jeff Migliozzi and Tom Miller

There are three webcasts included in this training module that explore social skills and sexuality for students who are blind or visually impaired, including those with additional disabilities. Participants will earn 1.5 Professional Development Points, ACVREP, CTLE, or Continuing Education credits by viewing three designated webcasts and taking an online quiz.

By registering for Professional Development Points, ACVREP, CTLE, or Continuing Education credits, you will be provided with a self-paced tutorial using video clips and other resources related to this topic, as well as an online test to assess your knowledge.

This is a web-based, self-guided professional development activity for TVIs, VRTs, O&Ms, Parents, Teachers of the Deafblind or Severely Impaired, and Rehabilitation Specialists.

All sales on self-paced courses are final!
