This is my yodio for ed. tech. I went to a conference on using technology to help children with disabilities. It was very educational as far as recognizing what the kids and the instructors have to face on a daily bases. I work with some kids who have disabilities but it is in the context of music which is very different from what they are experiencing in the classroom and in their daily lives. Most of the tools demonstrated were intended for children with "extreme" communication disabilities. It was remarkable to see the level of patients and thoughtfulness that was put into this tools. Technology I believe has given children with these disadvantages a huge assistance. Children who have no ability to communicate with their voices, or even the majority of their body can form complete sentences and ideas with these tools. It is remarkable and hopeful. One web sight worth checking out is intellitools this is for primary children and children with disabilities. Just google intellitools and it takes you straight to their web sight. Intellitools is mostly used for teaching and assessment. It is not used for communication only.
