Research Center Literacy & Inclusion

Full focus on literacy

It is the goal of the Research Center Literacy & Inclusion to collect, generate, and distribute knowledge about the literacy needs of children, adolescents and adults with significant disabilities.

 

We are convinced that all children, adolescents, and adults are able to develop literacy-skills. We are convinced that all children, adolescents, and adults are able to make progress on their way to written language, when provided with the right support.

The Research Center provides information on the implementation of such support for heterogenous groups and classrooms.
