Acknowledgements

This book of Learning Experiences© is dedicated to JC Greeley, a former Early Intervention Teacher of the Visually Impaired (EI-TVI) and one of A Shared Vision’s trusted advisors and a mentor for many of our teachers.  Thank you for teaching families with children who are blind or visually impaired “to see life differently!”

We would also like to thank Stefanie Hamilton, EI-TVI, for her early guidance with the first learning experiences; Janet Anderson, EI-TVI & COMS, for leading the development of the learning experiences, her subject matter expertise, and her collaboration with our teachers; Katie Lindauer, A Shared Vision’s communications manager, for organizing, writing, and editing the learning experiences with our teachers; and, Dr. Shelley L. Knudson Lindauer, Associate Department Head of the Department of Human Development and Family Studies and the Associate Dean of the College of Education and Human Services at Utah State University, who was our sounding board and an expert on early childhood development.

This book is also dedicated to the teachers from A Shared Vision, without whom the ideas for this book wouldn’t be possible.
