Session 2: Early Writing Development

The Assistive Technology Advocacy Center of Disability Rights New Jersey is proud to present a 5-part series focusing on early learning needs of children from birth to age 8:

"Resources and Strategies to Support Early Writing Development in Young Children with Disabilities"

Presented by Beth Poss, M.A., CCC/SLP; Speech/Language Pathologist and Assistive and Educational Technology Consultant, including a 4-part Early Learning Series on reading, writing, math, and communications. The 5th session will focus on visual supports.  

This session will explore strategies and resources that support young children in exploring writing tools, moving from drawing and scribbling to making letters, and establishing an understanding of the power of expressing their own thoughts in print as the foundations for early writing skills. 

There will be a specific focus on ensuring that early writing instruction is accessible to children with communication and physical disabilities.

What you can expect from the session:

• Examine instructional routines and resources that help young learners develop as emergent writers. 

• Examine both digital and low tech resources that are integral components of successful early literacy programming
