Assistive Technology is Becoming More Prevalent in Today's Classroom

Everyday assistive technology is helping more students with special needs become active participants in the classroom. Software, communication aids, adaptive switches and more are playing a vital role in increasing the quality of education, and therefor the quality of life, for special needs students all over the world. From the Boston Globe:
The children in Dana Romanczyk's classroom at the William Carter School in Boston have severe special needs. They are unable to speak and are in wheelchairs. Yet they can activate a blender in cooking class or tell a teacher they have papers to take home with the help of technology.

At Watertown's Hosmer School, a fifth-grade boy who has reading difficulties works with occupational therapist Beth Lloyd and can participate in his classmates' project on explorers, thanks to a computer program that reads to him.
