This presentation explores inclusive literacy practices and the transformative power of assistive technology (AT) for students with disabilities. We address common literacy challenges faced by SPED students and highlight key strategies for creating inclusive classrooms, including differentiated instruction, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and multi-sensory approaches. The presentation showcases AT tools like AAC devices, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech, alongside built-in accessibility features on devices like iPads and Chromebooks. Emerging applications of AI in literacy education are also discussed, emphasizing their potential for personalized learning and enhanced AT. Through real-world examples and an interactive activity, participants will gain practical knowledge of utilizing AT and inclusive practices to unlock every student's literacy potential. This presentation benefits educators, administrators, parents, caregivers, and anyone invested in inclusive literacy for students with disabilities.
