New Website
The resources from TX CAN have moved to the Texas Sped Support website. This new location includes great resources from all of TEA's Texas Sped Support networks including the Texas Complex Access Network (TX CAN), Texas Statewide Leadership for Autism Training (TSLAT), and Inclusion in Texas. Resources include videos, guidance documents, sample forms, and online courses. Select Significant Cognitive Disabilities under the topics menu to locate resources for students with complex access needs. I'm happy to assist if you have difficulty locating a resource previously accessed on the TX CAN website.
