Tech is making STEM more accessible for special needs students
Technology is increasingly helping educators provide students with special needs the same access to STEM learning opportunities as their peers.
Differentiating instruction with short video clips, devices, learning apps, after-school programs, and tools like drones or robots can help keep all students engaged on more even playing fields, as can embracing failure and encouraging students to try new things with tech.
Additionally, text-to-speech software can assist struggling readers, and many tools are enabling non-verbal and other students to communicate in more creative ways, including computers that can be controlled by eye movement.
