Virtual Learning for Students with Significant Disabilities

We’ve heard that teachers will need to develop virtual learning activities!  Our specialists have developed a list of resources that we hope can help you.

  • Looking for leveled reading? Try these free resources for teachers:
    • Epic!
    • Newsela
  • Are you using Tar Heel Reader? Need a tip for how to share selected books with your students? Create a favorites list of the books you want your students to read.  Open the favorites page. Copy the link and share with students and families.
  • For switch access training (students can use a switch, space bar, and/or mouse click), try these free resources:
    • Helpkidzlearn (free games)
    • Shiny Learning
  • Online Academic Activities
    • ​Sheppard Software

  • Remember, learning can come in many forms. Take advantage of everyday activities and opportunities:
    • Read to kids
    • Take a walk and talk about nature, shapes, count items, sounds, etc.
    • Work on social skills during play
    • Let children help write grocery lists, to do list for the day, etc.
