I am a resource teacher and work with a student who is bipolar and severely ADHD. After full testing, he is not self-contained in my room. He loves to work on a computer. I would love some sites he can go and learn 3rd grade science or social studies while I am working with other students. Can you suggest some resources that might be helpful?

I am an OT and could use some help with technology resources and implementing them in the classroom with students with special needs. I would really like to know about any tools that could be helpful for students with motor and speech limitations in the general education classroom. The tools we are currently using don't integrate well into that setting. Where can I find tools that my students could use in the general education classroom?

My son is in high school and has trouble being able to take notes while listening to lectures. The teacher said that maybe he could tape record the lessons, but then my son just has to listen to them again and it takes twice as long. Any ideas on what we can do so he doesn't have to take all of these notes and listen at the same time?

We live in Beirut, Lebanon where my 19 year old son, who is diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD, will be attending the American University for Science & Technology (AUST). AUST recently approved a program for students with disabilities and the university administration is working with the parents to develop an effective program. Can you provide us with any recommendations for things we should consider, such as assistive technology, teaching methods, training of teachers, etc., to guide us in this effort?
