Using+Technology+to+Support+All+Learners

**How can technology be used to address the needs of learners with special needs? Technology can be used to address the needs of learners with special needs by allowing them to feel and act just like anyone else. They use technology to help them keep up and not fall behind in their learnings and education. There are special tools that can be used to help in this. Technology allows special needs people to do things that seem normal to everyone else. Special needs learners should not feel left out. They have the same rights as every other learner so it is good that technology can help them learn like regular learners. An example would be computer microphones. These microphones can be hooked up to computers to help students write papers. If you can't use your hands this is made for you. You talk into the microphone and start saying what you want your paper to say. What comes out of your mouth will be what goes onto the page. Also, another special tool is the option for a website or computer to read to you if you are blind. You can listen to your homework or a book on the computer. Technology is useful for everyone with special needs because technology can incorporate anything so that it is usable. **
