Family Center on Technology & Disabilities Article

Here's a great article from the Family Center on Technology and Disabilities, Washington DC about quality accessible software and ebooks written by Dr. Ben Satterfield at the Center for AT Excellence.

Mr. Satterfield said, “We thought that technology could be powerful for children with disabilities but we lacked the proof. We certainly have the proof now. The blessing for us personally is that technology has made an enormous difference for Blake. To have an 18-year-old with Down syndrome who can read almost anything, who knows more about Romeo and Juliet than I do, because of the Start to Finish books (http://www.donjohnston.com/products/start_to_finish/library/index.html). Blake can find his way around a computer because the computer environment is so friendly and patient. This has been a revelation for the entire family and has informed much of our work with AT and instruction.”
