Title: Patti McGowan- Missing Information

PATTI MCGOWAN:
My son will say perhaps what he needs and it's hard
to because sometimes as a student with deaf-blindness
or a learner with deaf-blindness,
although he's very able to communicate, say, to a teacher.
If he misses something, he doesn't know what he's missed.
And so it's so important for that intervener
because she can pre-teach or reteach or just fill
in those missing gaps.
Because he doesn't know what he doesn't know
or he doesn't know what he hasn't heard
or he doesn't know what doesn't see sometimes.
So it's very important for that whole team to come together
and to be there to help with those missing pieces
for that information that he is missing so that he's able
to access better information and continue to grow as a learner.
