Students with disabilities are becoming more and more a part of regular classrooms, even Kindergarten. But how are teachers of regular classrooms suppose to adapt their lesson to fit both regular and disabled students?
More and more assistive technology tools are being created to help teachers work with disabled students. These tools range from toys to computer programs. Companies like Assistive Technologies (http://www.assistivetechnologies.com/) are available to provide help in finding the right assistive technologies for people with disabilities and those that work with them and software that can be used in the classroom or at home.
It is important to properly train those teachers who work with disabled students on assistive technology programs and provide the best materials to help disabled students learn along with their peers (disabled and not disabled). Teachers must also make sure that putting disabled students in regular classrooms is the right environment for the disabled students.
