Technology helps students with disabilities on many different levels. It can help them accomplish tasks like: Master grade-level content.

Work towards grade-level reading skills. The computer either reads the text digitally or presents it at a lower grade level for students with reading disabilities or visual impairments. Improve note-taking skills. Many students with disabilities have difficulty taking notes in longhand because of poor spelling, writing, and/or eye-hand coordination skills. Master educational concepts that would otherwise have been beyond their reach. Students can experience abstract concepts
