Staff may employ rehabilitation teaching procedures commonly used for the blind, but will also use some deaf-blind specific techniques. An example is the use of a liquid level indicator. This small device, placed over the rim of a cup, vibrates when liquid reaches the desired level. Independent Living skills assessed include: · Identification of time and money by touch · Banking and money management · Adaptive safe cooking techniques · Healthy eating and meal planning · Home and kitchen organization · Wardrobe identification and laundry care · Grooming and hygiene Return to Top Go to Navigation Home Page
