Maximizing Writing Interventions for Individuals Receiving Special Education Services through Technological Applications in the Elementary Classroom
Hampshire, Patricia Korzekwa; Crawford, Michael; Sawyer, Mali
Journal of Special Education Technology, v38 n2 p239-247 Jun 2023
Since its inception, special education has historically been an underfunded federal mandate leaving states and school districts unable to offer more than a basic level of support for individuals with disabilities. The amount and frequency of time allotted for special services including Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy is not sufficient for making significant and lasting progress, and many parents have expressed dissatisfaction with the current service delivery model. In this paper, we explore the issue of accessibility and how technology may play a role in leveling the playing field for students who, prior to this COVID-19 pandemic, were receiving inadequate levels of intervention to make progress on goals outlined within their Individualized Education Program. We explore one teacher's experience implementing a new application in her classroom aimed at increasing writing accuracy, while addressing the need for platforms that are engaging and promote parent participation.
