[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think 1:1 is an indicator that APS is finally going to get its act together and start providing assistive technology to kids who really need it, brace yourself for heartbreak.[/quote] I know. I put my kids in private a long time ago. My first is learning disabled, and despite paperwork, etc. they were more concerned (like a lot of parents here) about other kids whining and wanting the same technology. I put my kids someplace where technology was embraced.[/quote] And yet friends who gave up on APS support and just bought devices on their own for their kids said the kids didn't want to use it because they didn't want to stand out. Which tells me that APS needs to be doing more for kids' social skills and compassion, not that it needs to be handing out devices wholesale. I'm not anti-tech. I'm pro-research and planning and training. [/quote]
