Ahhh, it's finally summer, and the first thing you should do is take a vacation! Whether it's relaxing at home or taking a trip, you deserve some time to recharge. After you've decompressed, perhaps you'll spend some time reflecting over the past school year—determine what you want to repeat and some things you want to improve.
We have two new learning opportunities for you:
1. Our Making AT Easy eNewsletter, and
2. Summer "Bob University" webinar series
Get our brand new eNewsletter—Making AT Easy!
Every edition of Making AT Easy provides you with a single, simple tool or strategy that when implemented, can be a real game-changer!
The last two editions featured quick ways to determine ideal reading accommodations by assessing student needs and how (and why) to take your trainings directly to students.

Westerville, OH, brings home the accommodations
Our friends in Westerville, Ohio, show us that good implementation doesn’t stop at school. They not only trained 200 people in the district on their district-wide license of SOLO Literacy Suite, they also trained 200 parents. We are just beginning to understand the impact of good support at home, and what better way than getting the parents on-board.
"The response has been phenomenal," said Melinda Reames, Coordinator of Special Education for Westerville School District. "Parents are excited about the software and the opportunity to get training." One parent commented, "The constant reading/feedback the software gives allows him to work at his pace and doesn’t require me to read it to him over and over to correct grammar or spelling errors."
