2024 Fall CHIP Facilitator Training | CO School for the Deaf & Blind

On Friday, November 8 fifty early intervention providers and coordinators from four states (CO, WY, NM and ID) came together for a virtual training titled “Early Literacy with Music and Rhymes”. The training was hosted by collaborative efforts between CSDB and WY Early Intervention Initiative. We spent the day learning ASL and LSL music and rhyme strategies to support early literacy skills from our presenters from Hands Land and Listen Foundation. It was an inspiring day of learning and connecting with our early intervention colleagues!

Early Intervention providers and coordinators participate in the training with our presenters from Listen Foundation, Nanette Thompson and Krissa Britsch.
