For the multimodal project, I wrote and illustrated a picture book, titled Sebastian’s Epiphany, which documents a day in the life of Sebastian, an anthropomorphized teenage mouse who is always using his smartphone.

Yes, it’s great to send the struggling readers to the specialist, but how about pairing the children for 15 minutes with an…

for the consideration of assistive technology separated into two categories. The first category, evaluation, includes the Assistive Technology Continuum and SETT (Student, Environment, Task, Tool) framework. The implementation category consists of multimodal communication and the Universal Design for Learning (Office of Diverse Learners, 2015 p.5).

While both studies produced favorable results, there are still aspects of each program that could be improved to better the overall outcome.
