👁️ Today is World Sight Day, a reminder that every child experiences the world differently, and every child deserves the opportunity to learn, explore, and thrive.At Partners in Child Development, our Early Intervention Services and Anderson School support children with a range of developmental needs, including visual impairments such as Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI), a condition that affects how the brain processes visual information.Through individualized services and partnerships with organizations like Perkins School for the Blind, we help children build skills, confidence, and independence.One example is John's story, which highlights how our Early Intervention team and Perkins worked together to support a young child with rare visual conditions and help his family navigate developmental milestones.💙 Read John's inspiring story: ei.mypcd.org/project/johns-rare-diagnosis-early-intervention-perkins-school-for-the-blind-partner...#WorldSightDayl#earlyinterventiont#visualimpairmentI#PartnersInChildDevelopmentevelopment
Building Number Literacy Through a Reggio-Inspired Lens
In a Reggio Emilia-inspired classroom, mathematics is not taught as a separate subject. Instead, number literacy grows naturally through children's investigations, play, and relationships with the world around them. At Woodbridge School, we view math as one of the many languages children use to make sense of their experiences.
