In this Literacy Connect podcourse, we interview Speech-Language Pathologist Megan Stewart, who has over 20 years experience supporting students with complex communication needs and runs Sensible Literacy.

Megan shares ways to incorporate literacy daily (varied opportunities, letter hunts, sound/word games, captions) and explains AAC types and how to adapt activities.

She also discusses book characteristics that support language, then reviews AI and assistive technology tools (Canva, Microsoft Reading Coach/Copilot, Tar Heel Reader, text-to-speech, Bookshare, Learning Ally, screen readers, scan pens, page fluffers, overlays) and key resources like Project Core.
