Dear IRIS Family,
The IRIS Center, in collaboration with Bookshare, is proud to announce the
latest addition to our family of STAR Legacy Modules, Bookshare: Providing
Accessible Materials for Students with Print Disabilities.
In all of his years teaching high school English, Mr. Keurig doesn't remember a
more diverse class. As always, the group includes all kinds of learners with
all kinds of needs. But this year, Mr. Keurig will have a new experience: He'll
be teaching Bonita, a student with a physical disability, and Steven, a student
with a visual disability. Mr. Keurig has been told that these students have
difficulty using books: Bonita has difficulty holding a book and turning the
pages, and Steven is not able to read standard print. Because he plans to
assign a lot of reading, Mr. Keurig knows he will have to make accommodations
to ensure that they can access the course content, but he worries that he won't
be able to find materials that Bonita and Steven can access.

print disabilities, please go to
