MEville to WEville
Students at Mt Herman ESC have been using a curriculum called MEville to WEville. It was developed specifically for students with severe disabilities by AbleNet, a company that sells assistive technology and augmentative communication equipment used by many of our students. During preplanning Mary Sagsetter, the representative from AbleNet who helped develop the program, came to Duval County to give an inservice on it. She has remained in contact with the teachers via email and regularly sends us websites that offer activities and materials to support the program.
