The Silent Player: Unlocking Literacy Power-Ups for Non-Speaking Learners LIMITED
Wednesday July 30, 2025 12:45pm - 2:15pm CDT
TBA
Non-speaking does not mean non-reading. This dynamic, hands-on session empowers educators with practical strategies to deliver phonics and literacy instruction to students with complex communication needs. Participants will rotate through engaging stations that model accessible tools like AAC, eye-gaze boards, and alternate pencils. You’ll learn how to build phonological awareness, support independent reading, and assess literacy without relying on oral responses. Walk away with materials, ideas, and confidence to help every learner find their voice through literacy.
