Educational Technology

Innovative technology is helping students with disabilities in many ways. Creative teachers have taken the technology that is available and using it in ways the designers may not have thought of. Here are some examples of new technology and how it can be used to help students with disabilities in the classroom. iPods are not only for music. These portable music devices can be used in a variety of ways in the classroom. Audio books can be downloaded for students who cannot read at the same level as other students. This allows them to listen to the reading selection instead. This technology allows students with disabilities to participate in grade level discussions and classroom reading assignments.
