Having to view the various delivery methods of various technologies that are being developed and used in the classroom, the one that sticks out the most is the ECO 14 or "EZkeys". This communication device and software that we saw in the You Tube video. This is a similar device that Stephen Hawking uses to communicate. This innvoative way of communication has helped so many people with total disabilities learn and grow and be able to overcome the challenges that they face in everyday life and learning.
Hand held devices can show children with autism and other speech impared children how to convey their needs to teachers and support staff. These simple devices can be understood by the students, and usually the simplist tools are the best ones.
Technology for special needs students is growing by leaps and bounds every day. What we take for granted can be one of the most difficult things for a special needs student to convey to the teacher. These special software programs and devices make understanding and learning rewarding for both teachers and students.
