    Lisa, I like the Web Accessibility Guide you provided. It gives a brief overview of each disability and what assisting technology is best suited for it. I know that there is so much out there, but until you get that student in your class, it isn't meaningful. Having this resource available will make it so much easier to choose resources if, and when, you get a learning disabled student.

    Jennifer, I really like this search engine! Since I teach second graders the information they locat on line is usually too hard to read. I, too, have to limit my kids to specific sites. This does give them more flexibility, but also an understanding of locating materials that are within their ability range. When students know what they are capable of, they tend to push themselves harder to improve. Great site!

    Amy, I love the Apps for Dyslexia and Learning Disabilities site! What a great collection of apps for our struggling students. What I really liked is that the prices were listed so there are no surprises when you look it up in the App Store.

    Audrey, the UDL placemat is a great resource. Since there is so much available out there, it'd be nice to print this out and refer to it often!

    There are lots of reasons why kids are reluctant to read and write- learning disabilities, competition from other activities, lack of interest, school not valued. Students have told me they don't read and write outside of school. Of course they do. They just don't realize it. This blog has a great slideshow near the bottom that outlines how web 2.0 targets reluctant readers.

    This article highlights many web tools used for disabled individuals. It focuses on web 2.0 tools in higher education, but as we all know, everything on the internet can be adjusted to fit the needs of our students.
