Working Together: Computers and People with Learning Disabilities

[Guest guest]

Interesting article recommended by " Ideal Lives "

***************************************************

" Assistive and adaptive technology does not " cure " a specific

learning disability. These tools compensate rather than remedy,

allowing a person with a Learning Disability to demonstrate his/her

intelligence and knowledge. "

That's the premise of this article from the University of

Washington and it's one I whole heartedly agree with. The article

goes on to describe the types of assistive devices (both low tech

and high) that can help. You can check it out at:

One of the programs mentioned was Inspiration software. They offer

a couple of programs Kidspiration (designed for K-5th graders) and

Inspiration (designed for 6th grade & beyond). Both are software

programs that let your child create their own graphic organizers and

make the most of their very visual, preferred learning style.

While I was reading up on this software program, I came across a

great deal! Guess what I found!?

You can let your child try this software out for 30 days (cost zero

dollars) from the company website

But don't buy -- even if you LOVE the software. Because you can

pick up the exact same program from the Amazon.com Markpetplace and

save yourself $15-20!

Here are links you need:
