Teaching Literacy to Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities 24-25

Complete Attendance not available before workshop starts.

The needs of students with a significant cognitive disability require specialized adaptations and modifications to traditional literacy strategies. Participants will focus on reading and writing skills and literature activities for students with significant cognitive disabilities.
The content of this training, as well as the supporting resources, will serve as ongoing support for teachers of students with significant cognitive disabilities. We will walk through a training developed by Texas SPED Support in collaboration with the Texas Education Agency and discuss how the content can directly impact students in our region.
1. Introduce processes of literacy and their relationship to students with significant cognitive disabilities.
2. Help professionals recognize literacy skills and written language development in students with significant cognitive disabilities.
3. Describe a range of intervention strategies that address pre-early emerging to early conventional literacy needs of students with significant cognitive disabilities.
