    Location: GMB Architect, 85 E 8th St. Suite 200 Holland

    Audience: Teachers, paraprofessionals, service providers, coaches/ consultants, administrators

    Instructors: Lindsey Fountain (AAC Consultant), Bethany VandenBrand (Special Programs Curriculum & Instruction Consultant)

    This playful, hands-on learning experience helps all special educators and service providers design truly comprehensive literacy instruction across reading, writing, and vocabulary for students with complex communication and access needs. Start with flexible online modules, then dive into in-person session(s) focused on access, presuming competence, and meaningful participation. In-person time will include a brief overview of strategies, “make-and-take” sessions, and time to plan as a team on how to embed literacy strategies into your existing schedule. You’ll leave with ready-to-use materials and a personalized action plan you can implement right away.


    Cost: $50, light snacks and lunch included

    SCECH's and CEU's will be available pending state approval

    If you have questions, please contact Lindsey Fountain, lfountai@oaisd.org
