Technology being used in the special education classrooms is always a plus. It helps the students who are in need of alternative ways for learning new things. Instead of the usual pen and paper there are other technologies that can be substituted for the child's learning. For example, having a talking calculator with big number and screen can help the students with vision impairment or hearing impairment. Some high tech technologies are mostly the one that comes as a software that can be installed into the computer and the student can be practicing the activities and become good at it. Many times the students enjoy more of the computer activities or assignments that pencil and paper.
As a future SPED teacher I would love to have the different techniques that the students can be exploring with and at the same time learning. Though I know that it won't happen that easily, if I had a student in my class who is in need of a certain assistive technology I would go out of my way to make sure that it comes one way or another only because a child's learning shouldn't be put on hold when there is something out there already that can be helpful and useful to this student.
