<H2>Title Profile: <EM>Everyday Activities to Promote Visual
Efficiency: A Handbook for Working With Young Children with Visual
Impairments</EM> by Ellen Trief and Rona Shaw</H2>Most infants and
toddlers who are visually impaired have some functional vision that
they will be able to use for everyday activities and that can be
used to support their learning and development. Early intervention
services are essential for these children to help them use their
vision with maximum effectiveness, right from the start.
<EM>Everyday Activities</EM> provides simple activities that can be
incorporated easily by families and service providers into the
everyday routines of a baby or child to facilitate early visual
development and use of functional vision. The book is available for
$45.95 from AFB Press. To order, call 1-800-232-3044 or go to
www.afb.org/store.
