Technology And The Special Needs Student. (By Mary Hall)

Technology is used everyday in the regular education classroom, as well as in the special education classroom.

The next video shows the positive impact of assistive technology in the highschool, college and professional setting:



All teachers want their students to succeed, so I say yes to assistive technology.
