4. INTRODUCTION:
The educational standards claim that students with
disabilities should be provided with opportunities to
realize their potential. They should participate in
education and training on the same basis as students
without disabilities and that they are not subject to
discrimination. Due to the progress in the IT industry,
digital technologies are easily accessible and widespread
which allows using them for providing students with new
opportunities.
Here is some of software for simplify the educational
process for people with disabilities.

18. LiveScribe
LiveScribe is a combination of some very unique software and hardware
combined into a very special smartpen. This smartpen is specifically
designed for students with learning disabilities. While it works to assist in
math and science work, reading and writing are the real areas of benefit
when it comes to using this innovative product.
The pen works by essentially reading aloud any text it is physically passed
over. A student can then go on to write words or sentences and have the pen
remember them and even read them back on command. Playback speed is
also controlled for maximum comprehension. Big results have been seen
through the use of the LiveScribe.

20. Big Calc
We finish off our list of assistive software for special education
purposes with Big Calc. In the program, Big Calc is the name of
the big, quirky, and very entertaining calculator that the
learners use to do math work. Rather than always typing
though, students can choose to speak their math into the fun
program.
Another great benefit of the program is its customizable layout.
From screen and calculator layout, to learning style and speed,
the entire program curtails itself to the needs of each individual
learner that uses it. In addition, external, play-and-learn toys
can be connected to the system, bringing learning through
physical interaction to the forefront of the game.

22. The purpose of software technology is to help the student
learn without barriers. Selecting the right software
technology entails making sure it meets the students’ needs
and aligns with curriculum outcomes.
The use o software can reduce or eliminate barriers to
learning for students in special education. It allows them to
be more independent, keep up with their peers, gain self-
confidence, and collaborate with classmates.

23. SUMMARY
Special needs schools and programs are for kids who have challenges or
disabilities that interfere with learning. They provide support that’s not
normally provided in general education programs.
These schools and programs tailor learning to address each child’s unique
combination of needs. Adaptations are made to allow kids to meet age-
appropriate educational goals.
They offer a wide range of approaches and services. This may include
smaller classes, individualized learning, one-on-one support, self-contained
classrooms, resource rooms, and learning aids.
In Canada, the US, and Britain, students with special needs are entitled to
an Individualized Education Program (IEP). The IEP spells out a child’s
learning needs, services the school will provide, and how progress will be
measured.
