1978
Forty-seven years ago, two special education teachers needed materials that fit the needs of their struggling students. Kitty Scharf and Barbara Johnson came together to create Remedia Publications with that goal in mind. "These children need to be taught in more simple terms," Kitty said. "They may have low reading levels, but high interest levels. But those materials did not exist. Our workbooks are designed with this in mind."
