Teaching Students with Significant Disabilities
Literacy for Everyone
Let's explore what "reading and writing" means from an inclusive lens, provide educators and family members with useful tools, and support all students along their learning journey. The content in this website stems from research and findings in everyone's ability to learn, along with the authors' passion and advocacy in leveraging technology to empower individuals in achieving their potential.
Books on AAC Users
Joyce Lo, our BCAAC co-founder, published 5 picture books on children who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
As a teacher and parent of a child with disabilities, her hope is to have more books in classrooms and homes to increase people's understanding about AAC users, promote inclusion, and embrace diversity.
Feel free to take a look on amazon.ca / amazon.com and you can read for free if you have kindleunlimited. (Search: Joyce Lo aac)
