After years of being cast aside, we are beginning to recognize the needs of disabled people in our community. In the past people with one disability say, for example, they couldn't walk, were labled generically as disabled and were not provided the opportunities for education and careers that able-bodied people were. However, now we are accepting the fact that one disability does not mean a person has no abilites. There are more and more products available on the market to help a person with a disability to use their abilities to have an independent and productive life. One of these technolgies is Dragon-NaturalSpeaking Solutions. This software allows a person to create documents, search the internet, and use a variety of software applications through voice commands. It not only comes in several languages but also iin a variety of levels from standard to medical and legal. Thissoftware provides an avenue for a physically handicapped individual to pursuit computer interests and careers that previously were unavailable to them. To check out this software go to http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/products/preferred.asp

We often try to make them feel they do not belong to this world just because thay are not able to do the same things as the others can do. However the truth is that we all are born with a type of disability and that does not mean that just because of that we are less intelligent or we can understand things the same way as they can. However for those people that are not able to see or hear is being designed what is called "assistive/adaptive technology" it is a way of helping or improve the functional capabilities of individual with disabilities.

Often there are students in the classroom that do not want to be in there no more because they are scared of what other people would say about them or othere students will make fun of them.
