Microsoft Accessibility for Special Education Distance Learning
Part 1: The Three R’s
Distance learning in special education can feel like an insurmountable challenge. And while we may not be able to replicate the full school experience at home, there are tools—FREE tools—available that can help you provide differentiation and inclusion. If you are working in a Microsoft school or even if you just like to use Microsoft products such as Windows 10 or Office 365, there are many built-in accessibility features that can help meet the needs of your students.
AT Supports for School AND Home

Coronavirus and Me: FREE Editable Social Story
Suddenly you’re working from home, school has been canceled, you can’t go out to eat, and you have to stay six feet away from everyone. All of these major life changes have been difficult for everyone to adjust to! For our kiddos with disabilities, trying to help them make sense of why their entire world just went topsy turvy is challenging. To help you meet that need, whether you are a parent, special education teacher, speech therapist, or other provider, we created a free coronavirus social narrative story. Our story, Coronavirus and Me, is broken into 4 smaller stories, which can all be read together or separately depending on the needs and attention span of your child. The sections include: Why Is My School Closed?, I Can Stay Safe From Germs, Staying at Home Sometimes Makes Me Sad, and I Can Be Happy at Home.
