I have just listened to Cassie’s post on Assistive Technologies for students with special needs. She explains assistive technology as, “any software or hardware that has been specially designed to help improve access to a computer”.

In some of the reading I have done it seems that music is deemed a useful tool for students to express themselves. I wonder now what technology might be available to assist students to use the music technology I have researched. Cassie’s post lists some hardware like larger keyboards and jostick controlled mice… I wonder if there is specific software available in as well….
