Comprehensive Literacy Instruction for Students with Significant Disabilities

DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF COVID-19 THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. WE WILL UPDATE THIS PAGE WITH DATES TO BE DETERMINED.

We’re excited to announce that Drs. Karen Erickson and David Koppenhaver will be teaching a three-day, intensive course entitled Comprehensive Literacy Instruction for Students with Significant Disabilities and Complex Communication Needs October 12-14, in Denver, Colorado at the Embassy Suites Denver – Stapleton.


This introductory course focuses on conventional literacy instruction for students with moderate to significant disabilities. Drs. Karen Erickson and David Koppenhaver will guide participants in learning how to provide daily comprehensive literacy instruction that includes word study, self-directed reading, reading comprehension, and writing. Course participants will examine student work samples, videos of classroom instruction, methods of instruction, and theoretical frameworks supporting universal literacy.


The course is open to any and all interested educators and related services personnel concerned with supporting communication and literacy in these students. Of course, parents are also encouraged to attend.


If you’ve attended a similar event in the past, you know how transformative this course is. We hope that you can attend and hope that you will share news of this educational opportunity with coworkers, colleagues, friends and parents.



We hope to see you there!
