On the ride in this morning and tuned into NPR I heard a report about a major initiative at the University of Colorado to explore and develop technologies to support and assist folks with cognitive challenges.  From what I gathered it sounds as if the mission of the Coleman Institute is to nurture research and development of technologies ranging from web-based to software to palm and beyond as ways to augment traditional educational approaches in working with children and adults faced with developmental challenges.  Does anyone have a handle about what's going on?  It struck me as something near and dear to the hearts of we who are  interested in technology and literacy.
