My Project

Especially when you have children with autism, it is important to take all the steps that will help them succeed and learn new skills, even if they have to do it differently from other neurotypical children. Supporting kids with autism or other learning disabilities will make their ability to learn more accessible. That's why adapted books have been able to be a valuable asset for kids with autism in developing their literacy skills.

Adapted books are books that are modified to fit a child's specific needs, which are important when trying to create books for a kid with learning disabilities such as autism, because of its visual aspect, adapted books allow kids with autism or other learning disabilities to stay engaged with what they are reading.

It's even been proven in studies that these books are able to encourage readers.

Any adapted book must be made in a way that makes it more accessible to a student who has difficulty with typical books.

Some modifications that can be a part of adapted books are

*Physical objects glued to the page

*Page spacers that keep pages apart and make them easier to turn

*Assistive technology

*Pictures matched to words

*Adding braille

*Making the text larger

*Adding moveable pictures or visuals.

Why are these modifications important?

No child learns the same things in the same way. These modifications help highlight aspects of literacy skills while remaining accessible. It should also make them easy to use for kids who have different learning styles.
