Low Vision Conference 2022: Spotlight on Early Childhood
Friday, May 6, 2022



REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

Our youngest learners (birth-5 years) with low vision have unique, foundational learning needs that must be addressed during this short but critical time for development. Medical needs, adjustment to diagnosis, and knowledge about available programs are a few factors that can impact evaluating children, establishing services, and setting priorities for programming.

This conference provides information on the range of services for our youngest learners with low vision with examples of instruction across the home, school, and community learning environments.

Families, ECI staff, and VI professionals are all welcome to attend.

Speakers include:

Tammy L. Miller - Lead for Interagency Coordination & Outreach, HHS Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) Program

Gabriella Lopez - Advisory Committee and Outreach Specialist, HHS Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) Program

Jane C. Edmond, MD - Professor, Inaugural Chair and Pediatric Neuro-Ophthalmologist at Dell Medical School

Karen Borg - Program Director, Parent Infant Program for the Blind/Visually Impaired, Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind

Mary Shore - Early Childhood O&M Consultant, TSBVI Outreach
