[bksvol-discuss] Slightly OT: A hysterical typo in AT

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but it has me splitting at my 
sides.  We have been working on The Practical (and Fun) Guide to Assistive 
Technology in Public Schools: Building or Improving Your Districts AT Team  to 
upload it to Bookshare, and Doug caught something that I had missed. I can't 
hardly dictate this e-mail as hard as I laughed. My eyes, of course, saw 
exactly what it should have said instead of what it does say. Everyone else 
will probably catch it immediately. If not, I won't feel so bad having a little 
company. :-)

Quoting:
Accommodations may be listed separately from other existing supports to 
distinguish strategies put in place by educators that are just good teaching
practices from what the IEP team has already deemed absolutely necessary for 
the student to receive a free and appropriate pubic education.

***

I don't think the authors are advocating "free and appropriate pubic 
education." :-)
