A recent discovery in technology is identified at "Eye Gaze technology" where the use of a disabled child's eyes comes in handy as the computer is linked to a cameria and the camera monitors the students eyes and selects the object the student looked at and selects it. This costs nearly $15,000 dollars.
"Technology is also defined as allowing students to speak, read and write when those tasks were previously considered an impossibility." (Eric S).
Apps on things such as iPods, and iPhones have also been of use to disabled students in class rooms as well.
There are also programs that allow students to use voice recognition when typing is an impossibility so they can still hand in formal papers for assignments and other important things. It is also being done with mobile devices now too when a computer is inaccessable to them, or it also allows them the freedom to do something on the go.
Now, talk about adaptive assistive technology :)
