New York : Making Curriculum Available for All This case study describes how schools in New York, are meeting their inclusion objective of making the curriculum accessible for all. The key to their success is by making literacy more accessible. They use a collaborative approach with the speech and language team, specialist teachers and with the use of assistive technology. The team talk about how C-Pen Reader 2s are easily integrated into the classroom and help to develop independent learning. They describe the routines that are used and the positive impact for their learners. The 6th grade teacher describes how C-Pen Reader 2s reduce the need for her to pre-teach vocabulary. The benefit of this is that she has more time to give specific feedback during the lesson. The benefit of using C-Pen Reader 2s has been increased time for more meaningful discussion and improved reading comprehension. Very importantly, students who work with a C-Pen Reader 2 describe being able to contribute to the lesson and how they are feeling more valued as a productive part of their learning community.
