When considering a special education classroom, teachers must maintain one key point, individualized education. Children are entitled to an individual education based on their needs. This unit can be adapted in several ways to accommodate for several disabilities. Accommodations are important in the field of special education. These tools and methods are various ways students can access the general education curriculum without the impairment of their disability. It can help access what the child is truly capable of. The computer station, itself, can offer many changes to allow for children with disabilities. The computer can be placed on an adjustable workstation to allow wheelchair access. For students with little motor control, the standard mouse can be interchanged with a Kensington Expert Mouse® Trackball, a touch screen, or a single switch, like Discover:Switch®, by Don Johnston. Intellitools has a programmable alternative keyboard that plugs into any Macintosh or Windows computer can replace the standard keyboard with an Intellikeys keyboard. It enables students with physical, visual or cognitive disabilities to easily type, enter numbers, navigate on-screen displays, and execute menu commands. The unit requires some research on the Internet. There are two options to accommodate a student who has difficulty reading. The first option is a fully functioning web browser that has text-to-speech options embedded, such as eReader by CAST. The second option is a screen reader that will read highlighted text on the computer, such as HELPread. Both options will allow the student to access the Internet and be able to "read" the information provided by listening to the text, thus allowing them access to knowledge without their disability. Lastly, the unit requires the students to use word processing to write out ideas. If students are unable to type, the single switches offer a scanning method that will allow the student to type an idea. For students with reading and writing disabilities, the word processors can also include a text-to-speech option to allow the child to listen to what they are typing. HELPread will work for this as well. In addition to the text-to-speech options, students can use software called CoWriter, by Don Johnston. This software is a talking word prediction program that allows students to write better, content-rich sentences by supplying the students with words that could fit in the sentence. There are many more accommodations that can be included in the classroom that will give students access to the general curriculum and provide alternate methods of communicating needs. The most important thing to remember is that accommodations are individual, and the child needs to be assessed properly to discover what needs should be met. Technology is a great resource for students that otherwise might not have access to the regular world. If the teacher knows what is available, the student is better able to have their needs met and can truly learn anything placed before them.
