    Description

    The session will be in a lecture/discussion format that encourages the exchange of ideas between all participants. The overall goals are for the attendees to identify national health (Shape, 2007) and sexual health standards (FoSe, 2021) and discover creative ways to embed instruction of any Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) area while also linking to core curriculum standards. The topical foundation for the presentation is Health Education for Students with Visual Impairments: A guidebook for teachers (Wild et al., 2019). We know that the ECC has been acknowledged as best practice in the education of students who are blind or visually impaired (Hatlen, 1996, Sapp & Hatlen 2010). However, due to the pressures to prepare our student to meet standards dictated by a culture of standardized tests, we often forget the importance of health (diet, nutrition), personal safety (disease, emergency preparedness, medical care) and that our students will grow into young adults and adults who will want to have healthy adult relationships (sexual health). All of which are essential for our students’ overall quality of life (Botsford, 2014) and adds to their successful integration and navigation of society. The presentation will highlight the standards which vision professionals can use to justify instruction in the above-mentioned areas. The presenters will provide educational or instructional opportunity scenarios which will provide for interaction across attendees and allow for group brainstorming and creative thinking processes. The attendees should take away ideas on how to write SMART goals that connect to health or sexual health standards, their state's educational standards, and to the ECC.


    Learning Objectives:

    At the end of this session, participants will…
    1.Name at least two areas of National Health and Sexuality Standards related to health education.
    2. Identify resources to write appropriate SMART IEP goals that inform well-rounded instruction in health.
    3. Make connections to offer instruction across multiple ECC areas when teaching topics related to health.
