Children with exceptional learning needs find it very difficult to retain content information from the regular curriculum. Many content teachers also find it difficult to adapt curriculum to the learning needs of these exception children within the confines of the classroom and without any assistance. Although many schools are equipped with technology assisted instruction; it is not being used either because of the ineptibility of the classroom teacher to incorporate the technology into the lesson objective or because of the lack of time it would take to plan how to incorporate learning technology in today's classroom. This research deals with how to take modern day technology that students with exceptional needs are familiar with and incorporate that technology into the classroom setting. The Office of Special Education Programs (2011) has reported that the use of popular technology that children with exceptional learning needs are familiar with can be incorporated in classroom instruction and beyond. A bibliography is included.
