E-Books for the hearing impaired and special needs students

While searching the internet today I discovered a great not-for-profit site. Their goal was to improve the literacy experiences of deaf children . The books contain animation, pictures, text, sound and signing.  The project enables family and friends to have a fun shared experience reading books. The books can be used in a learning support or classroom situation.

A teacher from Victoria has created a blog spot called Junior Crew Book Shelf. As she has located E-books on the net she has set them up as a link for her special ed students and students with Autism to acess. A great resource for all to share.
