Project and Studies
This project funded and supported by IMLS and the Durham Public Schools Foundation HOPE Network was a collaboration with the Durham Public Schools Exceptional Children Services, the DPS foundation, the Exceptional Children’s Assistance Center (ECAC), the Durham Special Needs Advisory Council (DSNAC), and the Durham County Library was a collaboration to build more equitable access to curricula and resources for students with disabilities and their families during COVID-19 emergency online learning. The team collaborated to survey family and student needs during the transition online, created technology literacy training, and produced examples of accessible materials for teachers, parents, and children.
