Special Education Needs More Technology

Students in Special Education have an IEP that gives them accommodations that are used on the standardized tests and in the classroom. These students have a disability that needs accommodating, since students all have to pass the same tests and do this by mastering the same standards. These students are learning to deal with these disabilities and technology can enhance this. We have the computer program, called READ 180. It is online and the students can interact with it, and as a result their reading scores are improved. There are books on tape that assists the student who is an auditory learner.There is much more that we could use with these students. Unfortunately, funding determines what we can have.
