I hope you enjoyed our presentation. There are many great resources created to assist students with learning disabilities. This is helping the move towards inclusion practices that allow all students to participate in class equally. What you said about the guy who worked for Apple who helped start those resources was really interesting. This makes it more evident that it wasn’t a move for Apple to get more money they really did just want to make their applications accessible to everyone. I will definitely be keeping these resources for when I have my own classroom and have students who require different things.
