Dear IRIS Family,
The IRIS Center is pleased to announce the posting of our latest STAR Legacy
Module, Assistive Technology: An Overview, developed with the invaluable
guidance of Dave Edyburn of the University of Wisconsin's Department of
Exceptional Education. To view Assistive Technology: An Overview, go to

The school year is underway, and Ms. Adelaide is pleased at how well she and
her students are working together. She enjoys challenging her students to think
like scientists even as she recognizes that some of them struggle with the
academic demands of her class.
Early one morning, Ms. Adelaide is introduced to Terry, a new student who will
be joining her second-period science class. Terry has an IEP because of a
learning disability, an IEP that includes assistive technology to help him in
the classroom. Terry tells Ms. Adelaide that he is a proficient user of this
technology and that one day he wants to be a scientist.
As Ms. Adelaide leaves the office, she smiles to herself about Terry's
confidence but she nevertheless feels a bit apprehensive. Will she be able to
learn all that she needs to know about these assistive technology tools? And
how adept at using the tools will she have to become?
As always, we encourage you to share all of our materials
