WV SenseAbilities Resources Available for Loan

The Little Room

The Little Room and Resonance Board were created by Dr. Lilli Nielsen. These are both tools to be used with Active Learning, which was also developed by Dr. Nielsen. Dr. Nielsen used this approach when working with students who were blind or deafblind. The active learning approach emphasized that all children learn best when they are active participants. 

The use of the little room and resonance board promotes active learning and the development of the following skills:

• Spatial awareness of objects in relation to the child’s body
• Motor skills – grasping and letting go of objects; moving to make things happen
• Cognitive skills
• Auditory skills

The Little Room & Resonance Board will be available for loan following the completion of a webinar on Active Learning.

Adapted Book Boxes

WV SenseAbilities has partnered with Children's Vision Rehabilitation Program (CVRP) and Marshall University to create adapted book boxes.  Each of these boxes also have accompanying videos that are both read aloud and signed in ASL.  In addition, we have adapted book boxes that go with the videos.  These book boxes are adapted with braille and other materials to meet the vision needs of the student as well.

We currently have book boxes available for Goodnight, Moon and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
