Assistive Technology Can Help Create an Inclusive, Engaged Classroom

In 1975, the federal Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EHA) required that students with disabilities receive a free and appropriate public education. Since then, much legislation has laid the path for inclusive and accessible education in a nonrestrictive setting. Today, over 90% of all students with disabilities receive their education in traditional school settings. More than half of those students spend at least 80% of their time in the general classroom.
