I got a great reminder about Accessible v. Assistive Technology yesterday from @krista_bolen . Since so many students have #dyslexia but few have IEPs, we need to ensure they all can access classroom content through audiobooks and screen readers. Lets make all content accessible! Image The movement towards accessible content is so important for so many people with disabilities. So many websites and classroom content barely useable for people with severe dyslexia. Why, you ask? Most tech has built-in screen readers - isn’t that good enough?

Nope. (A thread.)
