Description
&
Agenda

Outreach services for children with visual impairment and/or hearing loss are housed in the Department of Public Instruction, but you could never put a building around their "reach."

Stacy Grandt and Marcy Dicker Dropkin will spend this Wisline session helping you determine how the dimensions of Outreach in Wisconsin reach your programs.

Among other things we will brought up to date on:

  • Who to contact – and how.
  • When?
  • What they can offer to families and programs.
  • Where to go from there -- and more.

Please attend the session with your questions in hand. Or, if you have a challenging family scenario that includes a child with sensory disabilities that you think Stacy or Marcy could respond to, please prepare that as well.
