Description
Recognising my Strengths Cards are designed to boost self-confidence and a positive sense of identity. Children and young people with vision impairments (CYPVI) sometimes find it difficult to identify the strengths they have. Especially if they are adapting to sight loss or if they are undergoing a transition of some kind. This could include the transition to college or work. This could put them in a situation where they may feel at a disadvantage. Adapted from a Children’s Strength Survey. (Dahlsgaard, 2003). Developed in the USA but here adapted for use with CYPVI in the UK.
Product Type: Hardcopy
