Inspired by the guidelines of the Universal Design for Learning (CAST, 2018), "Universal Latin Fables" wants to give the opportunity to discover Phaedrus' fables to as many students as possible. The web-site uses storytelling process based entirely on the Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Not only does it make the reading process easier, but it also allows autism spectrum students to understand the fable on several levels.
To whom it turns?
DYSLEXIA:
This website uses the OpenDyslexic font in order to increase readability.
AUTISM SPECTRUM
All the fables can be read using Alternative and Augmentative Communication and PECS symbols offered by SymWriter, specific for autistic people but usable by everyone.
VISUAL IMPAIRMENT
The "Listen" step can be useful to blind students. Furthermore, the website is responsive and the text is scalable.
HEARING IMPAIRMENT
The "Watch" and the "Read" step can be useful to deaf students.
The website is designed to be used by adults and teenagers or by children helped by a parent or a supporting teacher.
