Visit to The IRIS Center


Hi, everybody!

Simply stated, The IRIS Center for Training Enhancements translates research about the education of students with disabilities into practice. Based on research-validated practices the Center develops a broad array of enhancement materials in order to provide students with disabilities greater access to the general education curriculum (from PreK to High School). The IRIS Center’s work is made possible by several partnerships with professional and community organizations, public agencies, and universities whose role is instrumental in assessing the needs of college faculty and professional development providers, in determining specific topics to be explored, in validating materials, and in disseminating information about the Center’s work.

Some of the topics addressed include reading and writing, math, RTI, learning strategies, and progress monitoring. Importantly, all IRIS materials are available online through its website. In here, faculty and professional development providers can find interactive challenge-based modules, case studies, activities, and information briefs to supplement their classes and trainings.
