New computer hardware and software and other technologies designed to enhance learning opportunities for children with disabilities was demonstrated recently to illustrate how technology could be used to teach a range of basic life skills, facilitate access to the general curriculum for all students (including those who are deaf), help students apply strategies and skills learned to real-life situations, monitor behavior and social interaction, and integrate curriculum standards.
New education technology has the potential to help millions of children and their families each school year. Many schools, however, are unaware of or have not yet fully employed new technologies, such as computer-based learning, that offer children with disabilities new ways to learn and achieve at high levels.#
