Every student deserves access to meaningful, core literacy instruction—regardless of their abilities. Making this vision a reality requires intentional planning, collaboration, and strategic tools.
Join us for a dynamic and hands-on 6-hour in-person retreat, where you’ll dive deeper into the strategies, tools, and practices needed to create inclusive literacy opportunities for ALL learners. Grounded in insights from the book Comprehensive Literacy for All: Teaching Students with Significant Disabilities to Read and Write, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to not only learn evidence-based approaches but also put them into action as you create materials tailored for your classroom.
This retreat is perfect for educators looking to expand their skills, deepen their understanding, and leave with concrete materials to support students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and complex communication needs.
Let’s work together to ensure every student has the chance to read, write, and thrive. Join us for this immersive and inspiring learning experience!
