Thoughts on Multimedia



As I was browsing some fellow blogger's sites, I came across a tidbit that hit me like a brick to the head, "Of course, why didn't I think of that?"  In blogging about the topic of disabilities and special needs, it occurs to me that I should practice what I preach. 



What I am babbling on about is the practice of using media as an assistance tool.  This blog uses audio files for the visually or reading impaired.  The audio file is attached to every blog and reads the blog to the viewer. KUDOS goes to REALITY 101: CEC'S  blog for new special education teachers!  You are modeling awareness and compassion by considering the potential needs of your readers.


Now, I have to run!  I have to start creating audio files and researching how to add this feature to my blogs - thank you Reality 101 for the inspiration and modelling good practices for all bloggers and blog readers, not just those blogs dedicated to the topic of special needs!

Taking the DIS out of disAbilites

I was blessed to have the opportunity to write the theme song for the Hannah and Friends' T-shirt and awareness campaign of Taking the DIS out of Disabilities - awareness of the need for jobs for our community members with special needs.
