Lawrence School is an independent K-12 school that uses assistive technology and differentiated instruction to help students with various learning differences succeed academically and socially. Most students use text-to-speech software to read materials, and teachers incorporate assistive tools like speech-to-text, word prediction and mapping tools into classroom lessons. The school started implementing assistive technology in 2003 and now trains both students and staff on tools to help with tasks like organizing work, spelling, writing and testing. Their goal is to normalize assistive technology use so it is not stigmatized.
UDL Presentation
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) provides principles for curriculum development that give all students equal opportunities to learn. UDL is based on research about how the brain processes information through recognition, strategic, and affective networks. It encourages providing multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement. While beneficial for all students, UDL especially helps those with disabilities. Technology supports UDL by allowing customization for individual needs in ways that enhance learning through the brain's networks. Tools like Read the Words and Read Write Think provide UDL-aligned resources to meet diverse student needs.

The document summarizes an action research project at Open High School aimed at improving student engagement and learning through interactive technologies. It discusses the school's curriculum, students, staff, and pedagogical foundations. It then outlines issues with low retention rates in Stage 5 and identifies needs like immediacy of feedback and greater student control over learning. The project involved developing a digital library of comic frames in Indonesian to generate storyboards and conversations in the target language to engage students in a visual and interactive way. An external production team was hired to create the frames according to the school's design brief. The outcomes were improved student interest and learning through a more engaging format that could be adapted in various ways.
