Our Mission
Led by Don Johnston, Building Wings
creates special education resources
that help teachers take ALL students to
new heights in their learning.
Helping ALL Students Soar
ALL means ALL. Building Wings believes students across ALL learning styles and abilities deserve opportunities to reach new heights in their learning.
We love seeing students discover their own abilities and find potential they didn’t know they had. That’s why we develop special education resources designed to achieve learning breakthroughs. By putting the right tools in the hands of compassionate teachers and motivated students, we can unlock reservoirs of hidden potential.
Improving Literacy Outcomes
Some say reading and writing are out of reach for students with significant learning barriers. But with Building Wings, teachers can help students realize their full literacy potential.
Our evidence-based alternative instructional materials for reading and writing are:
Differentiated
Meet the needs of the widest range of students—learners with autism, cognitive and developmental delays, dyslexia, and complex learning barriers in preschool through high school.
Engaging
Fully reach students with all kinds of abilities, backgrounds, and knowledge using a blend of diverse curriculum, assessment tools, and accommodation strategies.
Purposeful
Drive progress towards IEP goals and meet today’s academic standards, preparing students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lead more independent lives.
