Run, don’t walk to checking out this awesome website full of exemplars of students with complex communication needs learning to read and write. The website comes out of the longitudinal research of Dr. Janice Light and Dr. David McNaughton. Additionally, through Dynavox, they have published a curriculum called the ALL Curriculum – Accessible Literacy Learning.
I feel very fortunate to be weekly attending the research meetings for this project at the Pennsylvania State University. It is a terrific experience to learn from such fantastic researchers. From my special education background, I feel so thankful to think about new and old teachers being able to easily acquire high quality accessible literacy learning materials to support their instruction.
