"Project ENABLE (Expanding Nondiscriminatory Access By Librarians Everywhere) training Web site, made possible by a Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian grant from the Institute of Museum & Library Services. This comprehensive site provides information and instruction on providing effective library and information services to students with disabilities. While the site's main target audience is school librarians, we believe it will be a valuable resource for public and academic librarians, general and special educators, administrators, parents, and their communities. The site contains five self-paced learning modules, jam-packed with useful information in a variety of formats (text, video, photos, graphics, audio over PowerPoint and more). You will find information to read, videos to view, games to play, learning exercises to challenge you, and quizzes to assess your learning. You can take notes along the way and save them to your profile. The site also has the option of allowing a person to register for the training as an individual or for instructors, supervisors or administrators to register their groups or classes for pre-service education or in-service learning."

This site looks like lots of fun! Might be too "young" for high school but do check it out anyway, students can record their own stories and there are also stories in Spanish.
