Helpful resource that benefits those who have reading related impairments or disabilities
Community Review for Bookshare
My Take
I think Bookshare is a great tool that helps those with qualifying abilities. During my initial research, I thought that it wasn't optimal that it was not automatically offered to those with intellectual disabilities. But there is other software that exists that can help students with intellectual disabilities, so there are alternatives.
How I Use It
Since I don't have first-hand experience implementing this software in an actual class setting, I think I would suggest that the teachers in my local school district to use it. It would be optimal to make the existence of this software widely known. This way, if a student that qualifies for this program is encountered, they are given the opportunity to enjoy reading along with their peers.
