17. 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.

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

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.

21. 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.
