  Learning Strategies
  
  IEP information
  
  Accessible Books
  Individual students can register if they can certify that they have a disability (learning disability, visual disability, physical disability, etc.) that prevents them from accessing standard books.
  The book collection is mostly fiction titles from a wide range of reading levels. The books can be displayed on the computer in any size print you like. They can be read out loud with text highlighted. They can also be formatted into "Live Ink" Check out the link to "Live Ink" in "resources" on the Accessible Books website. This is a special formatting of text that apparently is incredibly helpful to folks with certain kinds of reading learning disabilities -- eye tracking issues with standard text.
