Assistive Tech for Testing Merges Into Mainstream
As students with disabilities in Virginia's Fauquier County district take online assessments, they have access to a toolbox of technologies that can make it easier to show what they know. An optic mouse can help magnify text; a text-to-speech tool provides a spoken version of exam questions; and various switches and joysticks, for those unable to use a mouse and keyboard, can be merged with the assessment.

My name is Karran Harper Royal. I am a parent of a public school student in New Orleans, and for the last 10 years I’ve worked with parents of students with disabilities through my work at Pyramid Community Parent Resource Center.
Many of our families have experienced their children being turned away from schools or forced to attend classes without the necessary supports and trained school personnel and many children have been suspended, expelled or otherwise pushed out of schools.
This landscape of school choice should have given children with disabilities equal access to quality schools. Instead it has put many families on an endless search for schools that will serve their children in spite of their special needs.
