The Norman Howard School uses various technologies to support and engage their students with learning disabilities. They have a wide array of resources available including classroom computers, computer labs, mobile laptop carts, and interactive whiteboards. Assistive technologies like text-to-speech, word prediction, and reading software help circumvent students' weaknesses. Technology is integrated throughout the curriculum, and students use tools like iPads, podcasting, and online games to research, create projects, and demonstrate their knowledge in a hands-on way. The goal is to capitalize on students' strengths and facilitate their learning and expression.
