Does anybody know of such technology?" I will be attending the Learning Disabilities and Technology Summer Institute at the end of the month in Montreal. About 40 people from England, Canada, and the US will gather to discuss the use of technology with students with learning disabilities, and we will be trying out many of the new products. When I return, I would be happy to post some of the information on the discussion list. While I feel certain technology is not going to replace teachers and tutors completely, it is certainly a wonderful tool for learning and for assisting an adult, in particular, to handle the requirements of the job market. Would a bibliography of available assistive technology and teaching programs be useful if we put this on the LINCS LD Special Collections site? Do you need publisher information, too? Let me know.
