LEARNING OUTCOMES ● Understand that trusted relationships and a positive self-image are the

foundation for well-being and development. ● Describe key strategies to create reciprocal interactions from a deaf-blind

perspective. ● Apply patterns in turn-exchanges for starting, maintaining, and ending

interactions. ● Apply affirmation of a student’s initiative or response. ● Analyze indicators of a student’s processing time. ● Learn to match observations of a student with strategies to share emotions with

him or her. ● Describe specific strategies for establishing joint attention.

Intervener Journal Module 4 (Appendix 1) Module 4 Tipsheet (Appendix 2) CEC & Professional Standards Document (Appendix 3)

Listen to the story of Chris and Ray. The video is 6 minutes long. As you listen, note the themes of interactions, shared experiences, and reliability as the foundation for developing a bond.

Step 1: Watch the 40-second video montage “Celebration of Trusted Relationships.” It shows interactions between children who are deaf-blind and people in their lives who they trust and feel close to. Step 2: Once you have watched the video, open up your intervener journal for this module and respond to the 5 questions in the "Inquiry Challenge Questions" section.

Establishing trusted relationships does not depend upon students and teachers sharing a formal language system.

Step 1: Read the article, "Encouraging Reciprocity in Interaction Between Deafblind People and Their Partners." Step 2: Watch the video "Building Trusted Relationships and a Positive Self-Image." The video is approximately 9 minutes long. Step 3: Read the fact sheet "Learning to Trust, the Key to Quality Intervention.” Step 4: Complete the discussion board assignment. After watching the slide presentation by Bernadette van den Tillaart and reading the two assigned articles, respond to the following questions and post to the discussion board:

• Describe three ways that a communication partner can build a trusting relationship with a person who is deaf-blind.

• Describe, in your own words, why having this trust is a foundation for positive intervention and interactions.

• Share a real-life example. Respond to at least one other person's post if you are taking this as a part of a hosted module.

Many people may not recognize trust as an essential educational principle. For students who are deaf-blind, it is the foundation for communication, learning, and intervention.

Step 1: Watch the slide presentation "Reciprocal Interactions". Step 2: Watch the slide presentation "Greeting Rituals". Step 3: Read "Natural Conversations with Persons Who are Deaf-Blind".

Step 4: Take the "Reciprocal Interactions Video Analysis Quiz". This quiz is to help you build your own video analysis skills.

In this section you learned about developing a pattern of "reciprocity" with students when starting interactions. Paying attention to these patterns in turn exchanges, and establishing comfortable greeting rituals, is important as a foundation for engaging students who are deaf-blind.

In this part of the module, you will explore the following intervention concepts: ● Processing Time ● Joy and Sharing Emotions

Step 1: Download the “Joy & Sharing Emotions Video Analysis”. You will complete this assignment as you watch the slide presentation "Joy and Sharing Emotions." Step 2: Watch the slide presentation “Joy and Sharing Emotions”. Step 3: Submit your "Joy and Sharing Emotions Video Analysis Form" as an assignment below. Step 4: Watch the slide presentation “Processing Time". There is an OPTIONAL video analysis assignment that follows this presentation.

Maintaining contact through regulation of processing time, sharing emotions, and social connection, and appropriately ending contact by using specific interaction patterns, allow the intervener and student to understand and trust each other and to develop social competency.

Step 1: Watch the slide presentation “Joint Attention".

LEARNING ACTIVITY 3: SHARING EMOTIONS AND PROCESSING TIME (2 HOURS)

Step 2: Read “Objects as Topics” (this is a short section from the book "Remarkable Conversations"). Step 3: Watch the slide presention "Ending an Interaction". Step 4: Watch the slide presentation "Reaching Out to the World". Step 5: Take the Module Review Quiz.

Joint attention (both persons attend to the same thing and to each other at the same time) lets the intervener and the student know what the other is experiencing and feeling. This gives them both a chance to develop a better understanding of their own selves and each other, to develop communication, and to build the trust the student needs to reach out and have an expanded world.

At the beginning of this module you watched a short video montage of Michael, Megan, Max, Lauren, Autumn, and Ray celebrating trusted relationships with adults in their lives. After watching the video you answered the first 5 questions listed in your Intervener Journal.Please return to this journal now, review your responses to questions 1 through 5, and respond to the two post-module reflection questions. Once you are done, upload your responses to all 7 questions.

For students who are deaf-blind, there is nothing more important for interveners or other communication partners to understand than how to build a trusting and supportive relationship with students. This module offers a framework and a process for systematically affirming and supporting the student in everyday interactions. This

Intervener Journal Module 4

This journal is a way for you to note ideas or thoughts that you have

as you proceed through the module. It also includes some questions

that you will be directed to from specific sections of the module.

Before you use this journal, save a copy to your computer or other

location outside of Moodle.

Inquiry Challenge Questions

Take a quiet moment and think of someone who you trust and feel

comfortable being yourself with.

When you think of this person, do you remember a moment when you

both enjoyed being together? Maybe it brings a smile to your face!

1. Describe what you remember best about that moment.

2. Why did you enjoy it so much?

3. Do you know why you trust this person and why you feel

comfortable to be yourself with this person?

4. Do you think that you and your student who is deaf-blind could

also develop such a trusted relationship in which you can both feel

accepted and competent or would it be different because the

student is deaf-blind?

5. You just watched the video “Celebration of Trusted Relationships.”

The adults and students in the video clearly trust each other and

the students seem confident and competent! What do the adults

do in the movie to build these types of trusted relationships and a

positive self-image with students who are deaf-blind? What could

you do?

Glossary Affective Involvement Affective involvement means that two people who are involved with each other in a conversation are not just exchanging information, but are also emotionally connected with each other. Affirmation Affirmations are acknowledgements that people give each other during interactions. It is how we let others know that we perceived what they just did. Most of us do this naturally using expressions, gestures, or language. For students who are deaf-blind, however, especially those who do not use formal language, affirmations are a strategy for engaging with a student. We affirm by imitating or mirroring what a student just did using whatever sensory channels are available to her (e.g., touch, residual vision, residual hearing). Joint Attention Joint attention occurs when two people are attending to the same thing or experiencing the same thing, while simultaneously thinking about it in the same way. They are on the same wavelength. Compare this to the concept of affirmation. Affirmation is about perceiving. When you affirm someone, you let her know that you perceived (e.g., saw, heard, or felt) what she just did. In contrast, joint attention is about knowing--two people knowing in their minds that they are attending to the same thing. Through repeated affirmations with a student you get to joint attention. Mutual Touch When working with a student who is deaf-blind, mutual touch achieves the same goal as pointing. If the student cannot see well enough to know that you and she are "looking" at the same object, you can touch the object together. This lets the student know that you are sharing the same topic. Processing Time Processing time is when a student takes time to cognitively absorb and deal with what he is experiencing. It gives him a chance to commit new pieces of information to memory.

OHOA October 2014

Reciprocal Interactions Reciprocal interactions are interactions in which two people give to each other and receive back from each other. In order to be considered truly reciprocal, an interaction must involve at least three turn exchanges. For example, I say something to you, you respond, and then I say something back to you again. You don’t need language, though, to have a reciprocal interaction. Interactions also occur through facial expressions, touch, sounds, gestures, and other movements.

Assignment

Learning Activity 3 Joy and Sharing Emotions Video Analysis

The purpose of this assignment is to give you an opportunity to analyze interactions between students and adult partners in which they share joyful emotions. Similar to turn exchanges, sharing emotions is at least a 3-step process:

1. The student expresses his joy. 2. The intervener affirms what the student expressed. 3. The student responds back to the intervener.

You will do this analysis as you watch the slide presentation, “Joy and Sharing Emotions.”

Part 1: Video 1 – Max and the Wipe Direct video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fungDQe8C_Y#t=14 You may need to watch this video several times. The moments of connection between Max and his intervener happen quickly.

[Analyzing the Student’s Expression of Joy] This first group of questions helps us analyze Max’s initial expression of joy. He seems to enjoy playing. Describe how he expresses this enjoyment in the video. 1. What does he look at? He looks at the wipe and then at the intervener. 2. What and how does he touch? He touches the wipe with his hands and his mouth. 3. What movements does he make? He puts the wipe on his face. 4. What might all this (the way he is expressing himself) mean? He is enjoying the game. He may have even forgotten that he doesn’t like to wipe his face.

[Analyzing the Intervener’s Affirmation of the Student] How did the intervener affirm Max? Describe how she let Max know that she had perceived his joy. 1. What does the intervener look at? She faces Max directly and is smiling. 2. What and how does she touch? The intervener makes laughing movements with the wipe to mirror Max’s laughing. 3. How does she move? She leans towards Max. 4. What might this affirmation mean for Max? He appears to have felt “heard” by his intervener—that she had perceived that he was enjoying the wipe game.

Analyzing How the Student Responds Back to the Intervener These questions help you consider Max’s response when the intervener affirmed him and shared his emotion. 1. What does he look at and what is the expression on his face? Max looks excited and smiles. He looks in the direction of the intervener. 2. What and how does he touch? He brings the wipe to his face again. 3. How does he move? His head is down but then he lifts it up, leans back, and laughs. 4. What might this say about Max’s trust and self-image? It shows that he trusts his intervener. This helps him see himself as someone who has an impact on others.
