[QUOTE="keista, post: 507194, member: 11965"] YES, YES, YES! Get it put in the IEP. And once it's there, the school district is supposed to provide the assisted technology. We were VERY lucky that they did not have an Alphasmart available for son. Apparently it's a really small screen that only lets you see a very small portion of your work - not practical. The good news was that all son needed a laptop to run was notepad or wordpad (with spellcheck turned [B]OFF[/B]) so any barely functioning old district laptop did the trick. Now in HS he needs, and has, a more current laptop so he can access internet for his virtual school and email assignments to the teachers instead of printing them out. You might be able to find a parental controls program that blocks games and internet during school hours. Teachers can have the password if "playing time" is used as a reward for getting work done.
