Spot Light Text to Speech Resource for the Classroom Many students with disabilities continue to have significant reading deficits when they enter high school. For schools looking for ways to improve academic achievement and persistence to high school completion, utilization of Text to Speech (TtS) technology paired with Accessible Instructional Materials (AIM) is one area worth serious consideration. One resource is an implementation guide and video that was developed to support use of TtS and AIM as a compensatory strategy at the secondary level. It is based on the collective experiences of educators in local school districts who implemented pilot TtS/AIM projects. The content of the guide includes extensive resources that address student selection criteria, technology considerations, training needs, IDEA requirements for AIM and copyright provisions. It is organized into three sections: Pre-Implementation, Implementation, and Post-Implementation; providing information and resources in support of each phase. Visit our website to learn more about the TtS/AIM Guide and video as well as other resources for accessible instructional materials in schools: http://at.mo.gov/aim/aim.html <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=yiqo64gab&et=1107973290091&s=95&e=001x4DFEe0a ve2eX1RRmcbVCE4MJ78ER641GwBnEXPZbV8uAL2h8LyB58hUqN3cAU5vXC3xb-QpCYBUJgGF9IKu DhHbzUENZcVDl1POggIqfcgIU5FBodhJJg==> ETC offers Gently used Equipment!
