Story Time with DeafBlind Central
Story time virtual book readings
Join DeafBlind Central and Central Michigan University's CHARGE Syndrome Research Lab for some of your favorite stories! All Story Time readings have ASL interpreting, corresponding vocabulary videos, and experience boxes!
Our experiences boxes are designed for interactive learning. The lesson plan includes physical objects that coordinate with the story to facilitate learning. These boxes are available at no cost to you, we will ship the box and have it picked up on completion. To learn more about this project, check out our Story Time flyer or email us!
All of our available stories and experience boxes are listed below. Please email DB Central to request experience boxes that are not yet available on the website.
