[senco-forum] Alphasmarts

From: "Paul and Philippa Bodien" <bodien at gmail.com>

I have used alphasmarts with students who have many different needs. One 
Aspergers student we had loved it as he could get everything in his head 
down in class and then edit it later when he printed the work off.

Dyslexic students have also used them with moderate success although if they 
have slow processing skill and alphasmart was not the option in class we 
found.

if you google alphasmart there are lots of sites. they cost about £170 - 
£200 . We were able to obtain a couple on loan from oiur local Children and 
Young peoples Inclusion service before we bought them.
