Hi, Allison,
I am an Instructional Systems Specialist for the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), working with students of the U.S. Military stationed overseas. I’m getting ready to do a brief presentation with a group of special education teachers, addressing the issue of assessment accommodations, and I came across your blog. I would love to use the comic you chose for your article, showing all the different animals that would be required to climb a tree for their assessment. Given the audience I’m going to address (15 minute presentation), I thought it would set the proper tone for our discussion, and I am hopeful you will give me permission to use your graphic. My email is: linda.beaulieu@pac.dodea.edu Thank yo so much for considering this request. I look forward to hearing from you.
Respectfully,
Linda Beaulieu
Hi, Linda! That graphic doesn’t belong to me. I linked to the website where I found it in my post, which you can also find here: http://ginacarson.com/ud/universal-design/
Hope that helps!
