http://www.tek-ninja.org/2015_05_01_archive.html
The Intersections of Assistive Technology, Occupational Therapy, Education, and other random stuff. Thursday, May 21, 2015. Recently I have been working with a unique situation. I have a student whom I will call Mike. Mike is very bright. Exceedingly bright. Top of the curve bright. However, he has some significant motor impairments, which leave him unable to write with a pen/pencil, and unable to type functionally. Along with Dragon Naturally Speaking, we are using Scientific Notebook. The third compone...

Musings on the Parenting. with an eye towards technology and other random stuff. Thursday, June 27, 2013. A year ago my eldest son Jack asked me to be an adult leader on an Appalachian Service Project (ASP) that he was attending. From the volunteer stand-point, ASP offers families or groups the opportunity to travel to various Appalachian counties and help folks in dire need to make their homes "safer, warmer, or dryer". I wrote about my experience last year here. Like last year, my crew of young adults ...
