- Are children with disabilities in your country or project being excluded from opportunities to learn to read–in and out of school–because there’s a severe shortage of books they can use or you don’t have tools to assess these children? See open source resources like book creation software, online libraries, books, reading assessments and more, developed by winners of the All Children Reading Grand Challenge for low-resource contexts. Find an arsenal of solutions to improve the availability and creation of accessible books, conduct reading assessments for children with disabilities, and tools to change how you produce or procure books to ensure every child can use every book.
