Special Education 

 

The purpose of this portion of this Web site is to inform both educators and parents of special education students of the free software that will assist your students/child who currently struggle with the content in their regular education classes.  My goal is to only publish software that is free.  Because the software is free, the options are not as robust as commercial software.  Since it is free try all pieces of software to you find one that you enjoy.

 

This portion of my site contains many of the top Websites in the area of learning disabilities.  These sites contain many research articles and links that can assist parents of LD children and teachers of LD students.  They provide a variety of  activities for LD students.

 

This link includes three text readers that will help your student/ child who struggles when reading grade - level material.  When using this software, it might be necessary to cut and paste a Web page into the software's window.  An example of this is the Read Please product.   

 

Inspiration is a great piece of software not only for students with special needs but for all students.  This software allows students to organize their thoughts by creating concept webs that can easily be translated into outlines.  Great content appropriate images can also be incorporated into student work.  To get a free 30 day trial of Inspiration go to the Inspiration home page and click on "Download Free Trial".

 

Grammar Slammer is a great piece of software in which students actively take part in correcting their grammar.  If a student has a question about something that they have written, just point the cursor over the area, and Grammar Slammer will do the rest.  To give Grammar Slammer a try, click the link above and download a free trial.

 

This great grammar checking program can be installed in the tool bar at the bottom of your computer screen. Grammar Expert Plus contains four major features; grammar checker, spell checker, English grammar and a thesaurus.  To check out this product, click on the link above and receive your free 30 day trial.

 

This free program allows the Web surfer to instantly get the definition of an unknown word without leaving the computer.  The user just has to click on the W icon in the tool bar at the bottom of their computer monitor.  When the Word Web program launches, manually type the unknown word in the provided area.  You may also use your computer's cut and paste function.
