"I am a special education technology integration teacher at a school for students with disabilities. I created this blog as a resource for educators and parents.

Since January 1, 2011, The iTaalk Autism Foundation has educated over 500 families, service providers and caretakers on the beneficial uses of interactive technology with children with Autism and varying other special needs. Education is of upmost importance, and will ALWAYS be iTaalk's most important venture. With that said, the cost of technology can be overwhelming for families already struggling to afford necessary therapies. So, iTaalk has made it a priority to offer giving cycles where families in need can apply for iOS technology. In the past year, we have given over 70 devices to children with an Autism Diagnosis and have set a goal to give away 500 by the end of 2011. We

Why? * To increase participation and achievement for ALL students including those with significant disabilities * To position ALL students to take advantage of emerging educational technologies in inclusive learning environments. What? * The integration of interactive white boards (SMART Boards), SMART Solutions (e.g., SMART Table, SMART Document Camera, SMART Sync) and other mainstream technology (IPADS/IPODS, Nintendo DSi) with assistive technology for use during whole and small group instruction in all educational settings. The key is including ALL students using a Universal Design for Learning Toolkit (technology, traditional teaching methods,pedagogy) in their current educational setting to ensure meaningful academic and social participation. How? * By using SMART Boards and other mainstream technology as well as assistive technology to facilitate Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Differentiated Instruction (DI) so that learning environments, opportunities and activities are accessible by diverse groups of learners. Understanding how the Participation Model can extend UDL and DI so that the learning and participation of students with the most significant learning challenges are increased and enhanced.

"The goal of the myEye project is to develop an eye-tracking software to allow people with severe motor disabilities to use gaze as an input device for interacting with a computer. myEye was thought to help people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also called ALS or "Lou Gehrig's disease"), who have lost their voice, and may only be able to move their eyes. myEye will be a free eye-tracking software (but not open source) for eye control, so I don't want to create false expectations. This software hopes to be just one more alternative for people who can't afford a commercial eye-tracking system, but I can't guarantee it will work for everyone."
