Suzette Wright joined the Department of Educational Research in 1978, after receiving certification as an elementary teacher and a B. A. in psychology with a research orientation from The Colorado College, a private liberal arts college. A Research Associate since 1980, she has been responsible for the development of the APH Light Box, Mini-Lite Box and accompanying materials (Levels I, II and II), the On the Way to Literacy series of storybooks and related products, and was co-author of the parent/teacher handbook, On the Way to Literacy: Early Experiences for Visually Impaired Children. She has also been involved with the development of other APH products for early childhood and multiple disabilities, both as a writer (Bright Sights: Learning to See, Beginnings: A Practical Guide for Parents and Teachers of Visually Impaired Babies) and project assistant (Effective Use of Objects: A Process Centered Intervention, Fine Motor Development Materials, Parents and Visually Impaired Infants, Parent Early Childhood Education Series). Her current focus is early literacy for blind and visually impaired.
Teachers and parents are partners playing a critical role in the development of new materials for students with visual impairment. Suzette welcomes your input concerning past and future APH products to better meet the needs of young children with vision loss.
