  electronic information might assist, if you consider...

Accessing information technology (computer based) will be easier for students with a disability-- only -- if schools look at "all" assistive technology.

For example, reading. Students struggling to read can now have assistive technology software read aloud text, and have definitions of words read aloud.
Struggling readers cover broad populations of disabilities; learning disability, low-vision or blind.
And, please don't forget struggling readers with physical disability. This disability population is overlooked. Student with a physical disability are unable to hold books, and turn pages. Assistive technology allows for turning electronic pages.
