Handhelds and Special Needs Students
This article gives tips to help students with disabilities for example: dyslexia and Dysgraphia. Many times students are affected within their mathematic skills because of their disabilities like dyslexia because students confuse numbers at times. In this article it speaks about a talking calculator that speaks to you. That way the student can catch small errors while doing math functions. Another tool mentioned in this article is reading systems. This tool helps students who take information easier by listening then just reading alone. This article gives a few example websites that have your computer read aloud articles for you. I think some of these tools are very useful in the future for me as special education major.

Most computers come with programs that will read text aloud to you which can be very helpful for both the teacher and student. And even on some newer laptops they have programs that write what is said or respond to what is said and acts accordingly such as openig a program or deleting a word.
