Computers Used In Special Education

a computer smiling while holding a disk.
When I started working with computers I knew they had a lot to offer. I did not realize how many features that computers have for individuals with special needs. As a Special Education teacher I am glad to know that my students can access all the technology that a student in traditional classroom has.
There are programs that talk to the students if they seeing impaired and closed caption is also available online for the hearing impaired. Even if my student can not use his or her hand they can speak to the computer and the computer will type a paper for them and do the research. I now that teaching children with exceptional needs is going to be a challenge but I am so happy that I can provide memorable classroom experiences with these wonderful tools. Apple.com has a great website with many products and programs for special need children and adults.
