The aim of Building Bridges is to promote achievement in English language arts and literacy for students with extensive support needs who use various forms of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). The open-source model includes professional learning, implementation and instructional resources to empower educators and related classroom professionals to deliver comprehensive literacy instruction. Intended outcomes focus on improved literacy skills for students and improved educator knowledge and skills.
Building Bridges is an effort of the Center for Literacy and Disability Studies. To learn more about the CLDS or to explore our other projects, please visit our website.
