Students with disabilities cannot use the same technology that typical students use.

Children with learning disabilities often have better technology skills than their teachers and are drawn to computers and other gadgets, so using them in the classroom makes perfect sense.

E-readers help students turn book pages without applying dexterity, and voice adaptive software can help students answer questions without needing to write.
