Technology can be very beneficial for students with learning disabilities. LD Online states, "Technology can open doors and break down barriers for children, youth, and adults with disabilities." This is why technology in the classroom is so essential, because technology-based tools can now break barriers that once prohibited a student from succeeding in the classroom. LD online also states, "Whether in the classroom or workplace, assistive technology (including devices, software, recordings, and much more) can increase, maintain, or improve the capabilities of individuals with disabilities. I believe that many times educators are unaware of all the benefits technology can have for students with learning disabilities.

Hey Heidi good post. I know that this post goes alog with your teaching area; special education. I know that many things that we have learned in class you will be able to use in the classroom. It is a shame that teachers do not get enough training in emerging technologies to use them in the classroom.
