Special Education Coordinator Kevin Knutsen says equipment such as smart boards and assistive technology is provide for more independence.
"The technology certainly allows them to feel more successful and to demonstrate their learning in ways they weren't able to prior to the technology," says Knutsen.
Knutsen says some of the new programs include software that reads text on a computer to the student.
