Sorry I mis understood the directions. This is an article I found through my original website I shared. I believe this is what you are looking for. This program at UW is right in my backyard. I do not know much about it; however, a colleague of mine has had two previous students whom have graduated and are current students at UW both using some component of these accommodations. I highlighted a section about accessing computers that you might find ineresting

I chose this site because I first stumbled upon a blog that talked about how this website was changing to include social networking for people with disabilities. There are links to assistive technology sources, employment and support for those people who need to find an organization to join by their state, or if they just want to hear what's new .

Here is the new link to my bookmark: http://www.disability.gov/technology/Assistive_Technology/computer I decided to highlight what I thought were the best links from the original link I posted. Should I add a new bookmark to the entire page?

-
This program allows children with autistic type disorders experience the web in a comfortable way for them. It can actually utilize a Wii remote as well! The browser only can access specific sites that have been deemed appropriate for children with these disorders in an attempt to reduce distractions and inappropriate material avaiable on the web.

Great example of a product that is addresses accessibility for people while using the web. Good use of highlighting the info that directly meets the assignment requirement. The use of highlights is one of Diigo's best features for group research.

this a great solution for children and adults with autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, developmental disabilities, or apraxia.

Dustin bookmarked an article about Proloquo2Go. This product offers speech communication assistance on an i-phone or i-touch. My Proloquo2Go bookmark demonstrates Diigo's Highlight feature. None of you used it in the assignment. But it is a powerful way to bookmark specific material. OK.. this is not exactly pure Web 2.0 AT, but it is an example of bookmarking a specific section of a page by using Diigo to highlight & bookmark the highlighted section.

I was looking for something specifically about a person with autism using Web 2.0 or an autistic person using the internet. Did you expect me to see something other than a page about autism? Did I miss something?

It is important to make the curriculum accessible to all learners and provide opportunities for struggling learners to demonstrate what they know using principles of universal design.

ATTO: Assistive Technology Training Online - 0 views
-
I choose this site for a variety of reasons. Number one is for the tutorials it offers on a variety of hardware and software resources available for assistive technology. Any help in how to use some of these devices is bound to be beneficial. Another reason is for the abundant number of resources it provides - organizations, education, government, products, etc. Lastly, I choose this site because it provides basic information on AT use for elementary students with disabilities - including laws, computer adaptations, curriculum, and specialized options for distinct disabilities.
-
Since you mentioned you chose it for the tutorials & the tutorials link was prominent on the page you bookmarked, I found the web related material easily. Your bookmark would better fit the assignment requirement if it went directly to the Tutorial page because information on web related issues of accessibility is immediately presented there. The tutorials page is an excellent resource.

Thanks for the feedback, Carmin. To make things easier for future reference, here is the sight for the tutorials, http://atto.buffalo.edu/registered/Tutorials.php.

A great resource for students with many different disabilities from hearing impaired, visually impaired, ADD, etc. It offers suggestions, programs, printables, and other information.
-
What a fabulous find! I can't believe how many wonderful resources are linked to this site. The other part is that the resources are meaningful and encompass a large variety of disabilities. Worth bookmarking for sure. -
A better bookmark for this assignment would be Resources for the Visually Impaired, because that page perfectly meets the assignment requirement of bookmarking information about web related issues of accessibility. Resources for the Visually Impaired is linked from the page you bookmarked, and since you tagged it visual-disability, I found this section easily.

I chose this site because, as I was browsing before, I saw SO MANY devices and links for students with visual and auditory issues, but very little (in comparison) for physical and cognitive issues. In this article/video, I was amazed to read and see a student able to be successful even though he could only use his eyebrows!
-
This site was touching. It does a great job of hooking the reader into the cause of advocacy for individuals with disabilities. I am very impressed with the progress that has been made through the DO-IT program. Edutopia is a great resource in itself.

This is a wonderful website that I found linked to a blog about Web 2.0 and students with disabilities. This site contains a wealth of information for people with disabilities and those wishing to learn more. There is also a huge section on education and different technology tools that can be used to enhance learning.
-
Great Find! From the article on the Abilities Expo I followed a link to an article, Assistive Technology Gets a New Voice, which led me to ablebody.com, and their blog, filled with up-to-date information on AT. -
The blog about Web 2.0 and students with disabilities would be a better bookmark for this assignment, because the assignment requires that you bookmark a webpage specifically about web related issues of accessibility. Disaboom most likely also has information specific to the web & disabilities. Diigo allows you to highlight and bookmark specific sections of webpages. You should find an Internet or web 2.0 related section on Disaboom. Highlight & bookmark that section. Or bookmark a webpage clearly focused specifically on web related issues of accessibility.

I had to read this book for another grad class and it really made me buy into UDL. I would recommend reading the section on assessment. It really helped me change the way I think about how assessment can help my students learn from themselves.
-
This is about UDL, which certainly addresses many aspects of accessibility. Diigo allows you to highlight and bookmark specific sections of webpages. You should find a section that addresses web 2.0 and bookmark that, otherwise we don't know where to look to find the web 2.0 related sections of this website.
Introduction to screen readers and screen magnifiers | 456 Berea Street - 1 views
-
Not sure that the magnifier my student used is here, since I saw her using it years ago.
-
Is I have mentioned before I'm getting a visually impaired student next year, and I'm always looking for ways to eliminate barriers for her. I was wondering if the reader software requires that you hit certain keys to navigate the program.I would be interested in the cost and if their would be any funding available.You will need to be a good listener. Wouldn't you have to have a computer with braille keys? I'm wondering how much AT equipment she already has.
-
I don't know the answers to the question about braille keys. I am no expert in this field. I suggest you do some research to see what you learn in preparation for your student.
