Product Description:

College-bound high school seniors with disabilities received iPod Touches, laptops, or other assistive technology to promote their successful transition to college. Nineteen students were part of a week-long summer program hosted by The Ohio State University Nisonger Center. Each of the 19 participants received an iPod Touch that is loaded with iPod assistive technology applications. The iPods were customized based on each student?s abilities and needs. Some have applications such as Dragon Dictation, speech recognition software; My Homework, software that helps students track assignments; and Math Solver, a mathematical application that helps to solve equations. These assistive technology devices are being provided based on student need through a partnership between Ohio RSC and Ohio Board of Regents (OBR).
