One thing about this faux pas is that it is not a scanno. There was no
mistake made during scanning. When we checked it out in the original book,
that's what it has. So, we are not to change what is in the text, even if it
is an error on the part of the publisher.
So I would guess everybody that bought a copy of this book will read the
part and probably never notice it. But if you are getting it from Bookshare
and using a screen reader or some kind of DAISY reader will hear it
immediately.
I guess another way to look at it is that there are number of people pushing
for sex education classes that would amount to this.
Who knows...

Subject: [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." :-)
