While I do like the powerpoints very much, unfortunately, I am unable to use them. I teach students with special needs who need adapted powerpoints with less material and less visual stimuli on a page. Due to not being able to download the powerpoints and modify them, they are basically unusable for me. It's disappointing that I am unable to adapt them to meet my students' needs.

In education, a "one size fits all" approach never works, and Educeri has forgotten that basic tenet when it comes to the needs of differently abled students. It is unfortunate because I was willing to pay for this service, but I will now be saving my money.

Edited response: Thank you for your response. I don't have this misconception regarding inclusion students and EDI. However, my students are not inclusion students. They are students in a self-contained special education program for students with significant disabilities. If they could be in a mainstream setting, they would be. They need modified explicit and direct instruction. That is why I am disappointed. I know what my students need and your PowerPoints, as is, are unusable for them.

Thank you for the free trial period. I appreciated being able to preview the materials.
