The purpose of this book is to provide educators with effective,
research based interventions to improve the literacy skills of
students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) in K-12
classrooms. This book identifies, defines, and describes a number
of research-based literacy interventions, and discusses their
effectiveness as supports for students with EBD. Also included are
examples of and guidance for how educators can implement the
interventions in the classroom. Topics on integrating the use of
technology-based instruction, culturally and linguistically diverse
learners, and considerations for working with students with EBD in
alternative educational settings are discussed as well.
While the written word is an important means of communication among
people, the technological revolution has increased the demands on
mental processes involved in the processing of written information,
which endangers the quality of life of people who have reading
difficulties and are not completely functionally literate.
Educational technologies have vastly improved in past decades,
especially in the realm of aiding individuals with development and
learning disorders. With these learning technologies becoming more
mainstream, individuals struggling to maintain a sense of normalcy
in everyday life now have a chance to overcome various barriers.
Dyslexia and Accessibility in the Modern Era: Emerging Research and
Opportunities provides emerging research on a literacy portal that
offers the virtual background for the support and strengthening of
reading skills and for leading the user while using the internet.
The book also creates a tool based on user feedback with
instructions on how to adapt current tools to meet the
accessibility requirements for people with dyslexia. Featuring
coverage on a broad range of topics such as e-learning, lifelong
learning, and neurodevelopment disabilities, this book is ideally
designed for teachers, software developers, academics, researchers,
students, and learning professionals.
