Adaptive Technology

My sense after reading through this week's materials is that it may be easier to teach—and adapt teaching to—students with injuries or physical disabilities more so than students with developmental disabilities and lower mental function. For students with "normal" minds and thoughts but "abnormal" bodies, a variety of tools exist to help get their ideas and skills onto the screen and the page. While CTE curricula must attempt to provide all students with workplace skills, Commercial & Advertising Art seems more unsuited than most to handle the challenge of students who cannot clearly articulate creative ideas, execute designs based on the ideas of others, or develop a professional level of interaction—at least not without more specific and intensive training than what I can currently provide.
