Karen Erickson, Phd, is featured in a new Disney+ documentary spotlighting Camp ALEC—a unique camp for children with physical disabilities whose primary communication mode is augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
Founded in 2014, and now hosted at Rocky Mountain Village in Colorado, Camp ALEC brings together campers and educators for a week of intensive literacy instruction and joyful camp experiences. Under the direction of Dr. Erickson and Dr. David Koppenhaver, the camp models high-impact, inclusive teaching while empowering children with physical disabilities to grow in independence, confidence, and communication.
Tune in on July 9 to see how literacy, community, and creativity come together at Camp ALEC—and how Erickson’s work is making a lasting impact for students and educators across the country.
