Assisted Literacy Software is a great AT device for students with reading disabilities, such as dyslexia. This program can help students develop phonemic awareness, comprehension skills, decoding and fluency. The students can use the computer to practice and work on developing their skills. This a great tool for all elementary students that are learning how to read. This can help them develop their skills and practice reading.

I have had little experience with dyslexia in the classroom. Do computers truly help with those with disabilities? There are issues that i fear would be made worse with computers and technology. I wish there was more research how the engagement and performance of the technology with children with disabilities.
