Description: We will discuss activating brain plasticity and the practicalities of FlashSonar for self-determined freedom. We will explore an adaptation model of blindness toward self-determined freedom of movement and achievement based on the current science of developmental neural plasticity to discover how the brain can learn to see and interact with the environment when the eyes are not working. Features, techniques and strategies for helping learners move through the four steps of stimulus discrimination which pertains to learners of all ages with special consideration given to early developmental stages, including infants and toddlers.
