American schools have been slow to provide the tools for supporting people with disabilities - but many schools have been quick to supply computers to there classrooms. Trying to look modern without changing the fundamentals of there internal structure. Now a group of people have placed all the various programs that make computers tools of access for students. Basically free open source programs that fundamentally change the rules of the game. Of course they are cutting at the tree of money that Microsoft and Apple are counting for there supplies.
This is an amazing leap forward - parents acting in there own self interest for the good of there students with out institutional permission or support. Don't trust me read about it yourself at

If this had existed when I was in high school - how my world might have been different.
