If you are, then chances are you could use some help too, right? :-)
There's been an explosive growth in the number of children with special needs. Oftentimes, that means that we're seeing students with complex medical needs or physical disabilities. They often need assistive technology to help them get through the day. Or perhaps they need the right tools to assist in dyslexia, blind or deaf education.
And of course, there's been explosive growth in the number of students with learning disabilities and behavior issues. We're seeing lots of autism in the classroom, alongside kids with Aspergers Syndrome, ADD, ADHD, Williams Syndrome or any variation of PDD - pervasive development disorder.
But... school funding hasn't kept up, has it? Not to mention teacher training.
Even if you've decided on a career in special education, you may find that your time and resources are stretched to the limit as you try to accommodate all of your students' needs.

The site is also designed to help you share and benefit from others dealing with the same situation. You'll be able to share your own tips and strategies, and when you do, you'll be rewarded.
