In this inclusive lower elementary classroom, a group of students are gathered around a table doing "Big Paper Writing.” One student interacts with the adults around her telling them that she has drawn an umbrella, which connects directly back to a story earlier in the day. She is using a comprehensive communication system to interact directly with one adult and persists in communicating that the umbrella in the picture she has drawn is open. The video demonstrates effective strategies for engaging students with disabilities in literacy instruction.
