We are working with our partners at the STEM Innovation for Inclusion in Early Education (STEMI²E²) Center to improve engagement opportunities for young children with disabilities (O-5). 

Accessibility for Diverse Educators 

Almost all of the videos on our website have closed captions in English and Spanish for the deaf and hard of hearing.
Most of our videos can also be accessed with a voiceover describing the scene for those with vision impairments. Click on the Accessibility toggle in the bottom right corner.

Accessibility for Children 

Learn how to incorperate Spatial Orientation across the whole day in Routines and find accomodations for diverse learners in all levels of Spatial Orientation in Teaching Strategies.

We have also created new activities or updated previous activities with new features that support engagement for all children. Features of the activities include intentionally inclusive design, accommodations for specific disabilities, questions for caregiver and early interventionist reflection on development, and ideas for learning in everyday routines. We have started by developing activities for infants and toddlers, with plans to add more at the older levels in the future. New inclusive activities for Counting are linked below (and also embedded in the site, at their respective trajectory level).

Which is Your Favorite (STEMIE) - Foundations of Spatial Orientation

Going for a Walk (STEMIE) - Path Integrater

Going on a Bear Hunt (STEMIE) - Place Learner

General accommodation recommendations can be accessed in our Inclusion resources, linked here.
