to assistive technology. By searching the various elements of the site, my
credential students have become more aware of what's available for students with
disabilities. Reading about assistive technology in a textbook gives them
content knowledge, but seeing the product and hearing how it has impacted the
lives of real people is invaluable for their education.
Technical Remarks:
recommended for users with a 28.8K or faster modem and who have no difficulties
with Javascript. The Low Graphics site is available for anyone whose equipment
does not meet these specifications.
