Special Education

March 6th, 2009

Welcome to the Special Education web page. We will try and make this page as resourceful as possible for you by connecting you with websites or information that might be useful for your child or someone you know….

 One of the more important links that most students could benefit with is for Premier Technology. This is free software that is available to download onto your home computers. The scan and read feature is excellent as it reads the text back to the student. You can either scan the text of a book or assignment and then have the student use the feature, or you may access a document on the computer / internet and bring it into the program to avail of this feature.
