Join us to exchange ideas and materials for supporting student success in academic areas like math, science, social studies, reading and writing.

This group recognizes that an increasing number of schools are enabling their staff to access interactive, white boards such as Smart Board and Promethium Boards to provide dynamic, interactive, and effective instruction through whole class and individual activities. The goal of this group is to provide a specific place for those individuals to find functional and useful Boardmaker Software Family activities that either were made specifically for these interactive, white boards or have been modified from their original form to be used on these boards. Group will be actively moderated by an Implementation Training Specialist from DynaVox Mayer-Johnson. Active discussion and posting of activities that members have made or found useful for interactive, white boards is encouraged. Please write a short description of how activity was/is used. Thanks!

Resources for people teaching communication skills to children with severe physical and cognitive impairments. A focus on both partner assisted scanning and two switch auditory scanning.

This group is for sharing adapted science experiments/labs for kids and adults with severe or multiple special needs. Please go beyond "read and respond", sorting and other paper only work and share hands-on (and switch on!) experiments and labs.

Adapted activities for Harcourt Trophies textbooks. K-5. I started adapting in second grade. Five worksheets per story. Two Vocabulary worksheets and three comprehension worksheets. My son is in a full inclusion classroom. He listens to each story twice on CD and then reads it to his aid, (guided reading). He then completes the adapted worksheets. This gives him access to the general education curriculum. He has made excellent progress with his reading and with his comprehension. I hope what I have done can help other children. Please add activities to the collection if you have them.
