Grab your favorite beverage and settle in because this episode is a good one!

We’re joined by Maureen Donnelly, Director of Curriculum at Building Wings, Inc., for an eye-opening (and myth-busting) conversation about teaching students with complex needs how to read, write, and communicate. Together, we tackle some of the most common misconceptions educators run into and gently (okay, sometimes not so gently) set the record straight.

Maureen also shares one of her favorite resources, and one of ours, Comprehensive Literacy for All by Karen Erickson and David Koppenhaver. Whether you’re brand new to their work or have been following the research for years, this episode is packed with practical insights, affirmations, and plenty of “Yes, that!” moments.
