Other ResourcesComputer programs, when used appropriately, can be wonderful ways for all children to learn, especially children with disabilities. The computer provides activities that require little physical movement and make use of several senses, including sight, sound, and sometimes touch. Most are so colorful and fun that you may have trouble getting your child to play with anything else! Make sure the program keeps your children thinking.
