Description

This research aims to advance evidenced based AT practices in a culturally responsive manner, ultimately helping close the achievement gap of minorities, and more specifically to improve the early literacy skills of young children with disabilities. Cultural targeting strategies, employed in the design and implementation of the project, will be presented. The results from this research can assist other projects aimed at generating an accessible AT program for underserved children.
