Universal Access
Rather than
concentrate on "special education" technology,
schools should investigate universal access to
technology. Touch screens are common place in
stores and banks, yet need to be special ordered
in schools. Speech to text software can be found
in many administrative assistant''''s software
packages, but the school technology budget cannot
cover the cost for students. Elevators are
included when new schools are built, yet the
buttons cannot be reached by people using
wheelchairs. All new technology purchases need to
be evaluated on access to all, including students
who are able bodied, physically disabled or
learning
disabled.
