Learning together describes how to create an active learning environment for children with sight problems and multiple disabilities. It explains and illustrates methods that have been developed over many years with children of all ages at the Royal Blind School in Edinburgh. Building on their acclaimed communication programme, "Movement, gesture and sign", the authors offer practical guidance on creating opportunities for children to make and reinforce vital connections with the world. Revised in 2008, this second edition explains how consistent responses and appropriate learning conditions offer the security and motivation that young learners need to develop greater self confidence, a sense of exploration and an ability to communicate. The publication includes 150 illustrated signs from the "Canaan Barrie" adapted signs vocabulary. Learning together is for teachers, speech and language therapists, parents and early years professionals.
