Learning Context:
The learning context and learners for this learning resource target students with learning disabilities and people interested in learning about Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) technologies. The students can come from any background and there is no prior knowledge that is required to use this learning resource. Children as young as 3 years old with learning disabilities can also use AAC to recognize the different learning methods and use technology to enhance communication.
Inclusion Design:
Designing a learning resource according to the UDL and CAST principles is very important to make learning accessible and inclusive for all students. The main goal of this learning resource is to make sure that the material is accessible for all students, with simple and clear language. This is to ensure that learners from all backgrounds can understand each and every topic clearly, which is very important to engage all students. Moreover, by making each topic relatable and simple to understand, we make sure that students are interested and motivated to fully understand the learning resource. We also encourage students to choose how they want to present their learning through interactive activities and assessments, which gives them a sense of control and investment in their education. By following these steps, we can make sure that the project is inclusive and supportive to all students in learning about AAC, regardless of their background or learning style.
