The website that Maria bookmarked about Assistive technology for Students with Learning Disabilities gave some great tools that I had not thought of or was not even aware of. I will be checking out some of those tools and the ability to use them with some of my students.

My article argues with the Article that John posted on the actual helpfulness of the new Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA).

Sherita and i are on the same page with the idea of those CAPTCHAs which I personally despise. I have a hard time seeing them so how can they expect a disabled person to be able to use them to get access to their site.

The Article Maria posted on Autism Breaking down the Barriers is one I plan to look into further. I did not realize that there were applications designed specifically for a child with autism. I am going to try some of those sites with some of my students and see if it helps them in any of their accessibility issues.

This article addressed some accessibility issues I had not thought about. It also addresses that some of the new technologies that are being developed will not fix the issues unless there are protocols and guidelines developed that all web sites must use. there also must be keyboard function alternatives where a mouse would be used.
