Adapted Literature

The following is a list of Adapted Literature available through the Sherlock Center Resource Library. These resources are provided for teachers to help students with severe disabilities participate in the general curriculum. Please limit the use and distribution of these materials accordingly.

Available formats:

• Powerpoint: The adapted literature is presented in an interactive manner. Students can use a mouse or other click device (switch) to move through the pages and there are some sounds and narration to accompany the stories. These files are zipped in order to include all features (sound, auto navigation, etc.). Extremely large-sized Powerpoint files are available on cd through the Sherlock Center Resource Library.
• PDF: The adapted literature is presented using Writing with Symbols and basic text.
• Notebooks: The adapted literaure is presented in notebook format using pictures, symbols, and basic text. Notebooks are loaned through the Sherlock Center Resource Library.
• We also have a limited number of interactive story boxes not listed here, but specifically designed for hands on activities for children with sensory loss (and only loaned to those classrooms).
  
  The Sherlock Center Resource Library is open between 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM, Monday - Friday.
