Enjoy "The ABCs of Inclusion" with Voice Descriptions and ASL Captioning
In writing this book, I knew a variety of children would be reading it and I wanted it to be as accessible as possible. I've partnered with the Described and Captioned Media Program and Imagination Storybooks to bring this book to life with voice descriptions and ASL captioning. Happy reading!
