New Webinar Series for Educators

The three Accessible Reading Webinars in this series are hosted by Dolphin Computer Access, together with guest speakers, all experts in their field. Each webinar will offer practical advice, drawing on real-life experiences, to share how accessible books and reading tools have empowered the students they've worked with.
