As I was exploring special educational supports across the district I rediscovered a site called
Teacher's Gateway to Special Education. This link offers a great strategies and resources for teaching students with special needs. The teaching strategy and resource is broken down into Special Needs, Formal Exceptionalities Determined By IPRC and Diagnosed Medical/Psychological Conditions. When a specific exceptionality is chosen the page shows common characteristics and teaching strategies including instructional, environmental and assessment. This site is a great starting point that my lead you into exploring how to use assitive technology to help students achieve to their full potential.
I have created the following graphic pyramid that outlines access to assistive technology for students. To view the document please follow the following link:

Love the use of the Triangle approach which focuses on Universal Design at the bottom...what is good for one, is good for all.
