CATCH THE BUZZ
 
KURZWEIL 3000 FIREFLY WEB-BASED Literacy and Learning Solutions
 
FREE to all DU students, this new and enhanced web-based literacy and learning tool will allow ALL learners to build literacy skills that will follow them throughout their academic careers and beyond.

Kurzweil 3000–firefly enables all students, including those with learning differences such as dyslexia and English language learners (ELL and ESL), to learn from the same content as their peers. Anchored in the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), it supports the complex tasks of developing fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, writing, study skills, and test-taking strategies. Built-in multisensory tools foster active participation throughout the full learning process, while anytime, anywhere access to curricula promotes independent learning at home, in the classroom, and beyond.

FOR YOUR FREE LICENSE or TO REGISTER FOR A WORKSHOP, PLEASE CONTACT THE DSS OFFICE.

Kurzweil Training Workshops: Available on request

DREAM Disability Rights Education Activism and Mentoring

DREAM is a national organization for and by college students with disabilities.  Our work is supported by our sponsoring organization, the National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD), which is based at the Association on Higher Education And Disability (AHEAD).  

DREAM is open to higher education students of all types, including graduate students, part-time students, and those who are auditing higher education courses.  It is open to students of all ages with any kind of disability, culturally Deaf students, and nondisabled students who are our allies and peers.  We explicitly include people who have traditionally been marginalized or under-represented in the disability or higher education communities.

We strongly advocate for disability culture, community, and pride, and hope to serve as an online virtual disability cultural center for students who want to connect with other students.
