10.  David Edyburn made this very poignant comment:: "We are in a
situation right now where we have conflicting laws that we have to
provide assistive technology. So if there is an academic
performance problem, that is by definition the need for assistive
technology and yet what we are doing is we are setting this up in
the traditional amount of education that it only counts if it’s here
and we’re not looking at the interaction between the person and a
tool because that’s cheating, that’s less performance…When they
re-roof your house, they are all using nail guns and yet in school
they call it cheating [if AT is used, emphasis added]. "(Parette ,
Peterson-Karlan, Smith, Gray, & Silver-Pacuilla, Fall 2006, p. 18)
