Assistive Technology

This entire assignment was confusing as soon as I started it.  From trying to scroll a million times to complete a task to just trying to find definitions.  It made me realize how lucky I am to not have disabilities which can cause these types of problems everyday.  I have worked with a simulation similar to this at one point though.  If you're ever interested in seeing what a child with ADHD deal with in a day to day basis, google it and hopefully you'll come up with the same site I did.  It puts you through a lesson with distractions like a child with ADHD would have.  It was just as interesting as these simulations.  Frustrating, but interesting.  

This assignment gave me some great ideas to use when designing my website, which I'm sure was the point.   Hopefully I'll be able to succeed in remembering them all.

I agree it was interesting and frustrating at the same time. As an art teacher it was interesting to think about students with disabilities dealing with vision. That is what the class is! Thinking about it, I have not had any students with vision problems, maybe that is because they are not given the opportunity to take art. Your blog made me think about that and what I could do for a student with special needs.
