<p>Hey parents <br>
</p>
<div>Do you struggle with inaccessible documents provided to your students? Our upcoming January will teach educators how to make accessible word documents. Feel free to invite general education teachers your students may have. It is a make and take, so we
ask people to bring a document to work on during the webinar. Flyer is attached as well as info below. Reach out to me with any questions. Share in your networks</div>
