The program "Reading Made Easy Everywhere" scheduled for the 21st of April in Columbia, SC will be modified. This workshop will not include the scheduled appearance by Scott Marfilius and background information on structured reading supports for struggling readers. The original daylong format will be adjusted to a half day and content will focus on Digital Talking Books from RFB&D and Bookshare.org and Digital Talking Book players. Specific information on the Victor Reader Stream and ClassMate Reader will be provided.From 9 am to noon Jim Sullivan of HumanWare will lead a discussion and several hands-on activities with these tools. This presentation will be geared toward teachers of the visually impaired, reading specialist, special education teachers, special education administrator and assistive technology specialist. Advantages of these tools for students who are blind/visually impaired and who have learning disabilities will be explored.
An outline of the topics to be covered appears below. If you are interested in attending this modified workshop we ask that you RSVP to jim.sullivan@humanware.com.
