Young students with developmental delays and older students with moderate to severe cognitive-communication and physical deficits will participate in literacy activities.
Communication skills provide the foundation for reading and writing skills.
Many of the students are non-verbal and use augmentative communication devices. This project is different because these students are often non-readers and may not be given opportunities to benefit from alternative teaching styles and materials as a means of establishing a foundation for learning. Students will listen to short stories. Students will answer who, what, where questions. Students will recall sequence of story.
