I modify materials on a daily basis for my special education students. One of the ways materials are modified for them is securing pictures to books with velcro. Many adapted books have at least 10-15 places that need a picture or icon secured, so students can match or pull them to communicate. Recently, I adapted the book Llama Llama Holiday Drama for my kids. My older kids were able to answer questions using the icons in the book and my younger one learned new vocabulary words by matching icons to the book.
So this means I use a ton of velcro to adapt these materials. This basic request will help modify and create many adaptive materials to be used now and in the years to come.
