Early Literacy Resources for Children with Disabilities
As this year comes to a close, I'd like to call your attention to a group of students for whom, until recently, learning how to read had not been a priority. David A. Koppenhaver wrote in 1991 that "It's not easy trying to learn to read and write if you're a
child with severe disabilities in U.S. public school today. In fact, you have at best a 30% chance of being able to read and write as well as a child who can walk and talk but is otherwise just the same as you." After doing a bit of research, however, it seems that fortunately, much progress has been made in this area since this article was published in 1995. New perspectives on emergent literacy and good instructional practices for all children, including those with disabilities, are now available online for both parents and teachers to access, as well as numerous other resources about the types of assistive technology that foster reading and writing skills.
