This article is about an amendment that insures students with special disabilities to have available general education. Parents, students and teachers came together to design a program called IEP for special needs students. An IEP is a document that specifies guidelines for indications for students when in a classroom and classroom instructions. After IEP was mandated students have been able to increase their success in a classroom. It's very important for science teachers because they have to keep up with the latest technology so the students can participate in class. An example is the use of computer assisted instruction (CAI) and it allows students to work at their own pace. They have also come up with assistive technology which helps students perform task easier. In today's society all people use technology to function daily in their lives. Regardless of any disability none should be left out so I am very happy they have made adjustments for everything. I think this was a great article and I learned about many different ways to accommodate students with disabilities.

This article briefly describes the law that provides technology for the Special Ed student who qualifies for it. Along with computer-assisted technologies there are also assistive technologies that enable students to do far more than they could before. The article provides references and resources to keep up to date on what is available. Since this is an older article I am sure there is new AT available to students in an inclusive classroom.
