Do all computer-based accommodations used by students with learning disabilities require special hardware or software applications?
A. No. Many students benefit from standard word processor features. Features such as spelling and grammar checkers can help students correct spelling and grammar errors. Word processing programs that include tools for outlining and color coding text can help people with organization and sequencing difficulties sort thoughts and ideas. For more information on specific computer-based accommodations for students with learning disabilities, consult the Adaptive Technology section of The Faculty Room.
