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.

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.

Companies like Yahoo, You Tube, and Google are aware that our rapidly aging population can benefit from accessibility requirements. This article talks about current and future features that are being designed to aid accesssibility for all users.

I choose this website for a couple of reasons. The first reason was the fact that the company is there to help people with disabilities. The second reason was the fact that you could change many attributes of the webpage. This is a very neat feature to me. It is also neat to think about the fact that this is a world issue not just a US issue.

This is a neat site, and it is nice to consider that this is a world issue. I like the fact that you can change the size of the text on the page. This is helpful to a lot of people...not just for those with extreme disabilities. Sometimes I wish that our lesley discussion board had bigger text...late nights I find myself squinting :)

This blog has noted an Iphone app that is an IEP checklist for parents. It is an interesting feature for parents to have. Parents can have the template infront of them and ask teachers questions as they go through the IEP meeting.

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.

A better bookmark for this assignment would be DO-IT, because DO-IT perfectly meets the assignment requirement of information about web related issues of accessibility.

Not just for children, but an example of a professional ESL podcast.
