I am particularly interested in learning about effective new technologies that would facilitate teaching transition skills to a high-school Special Ed population. I have been teaching Special Ed for over 30 years, and this topic has been mandated by the California IEP protocol.

Assistive-Technology and Online Learning

Donald,

You raise a great question. While we haven't specifically covered online learning for students with disabilities, we do have a great video about how technology in general is changing the face of education for students with physical disabilities, and giving them new opportunities. Check it out here: Assitive-Technology: Enabling Dreams.

I'd harbor a guess that the personalization that online learning allows makes it particularly suitable to adapting for physically- and learning-disabled kids. Anyone out there have any experience with this?

Thanks!
Amy
