  Frequent Absences

I appreciated Harvey''s comments regarding students with frequent absences. I checked into the programs suggested and unfortunately these and most programs I have found allow for a virtual or cyber experiences only. My focus is to help students be involved in school when they are able to attend but also be just as successful at home(sickness, homebound etc.) using current available technology(plugged into the classroom they are missing). My goal is to greatly reduce tha amount of children who are forced into homebound instruction and reduce the number of students who are forced into homeschooling or cyber schools because of frequent absences and the lack of support from local school districts to help them succeed and be a part of their school.Assistive technology seems the likely direction, however accessable technology for all students is the goal.
