The following navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move through main tier links and expand / close menus in sub tiers. Up and Down arrows will open main tier menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

Abstract Technology has been an increasingly useful resource in Special Education, especially in today’s temporary method of teaching. I am interested in what type of technological applications are most beneficial to support student's with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). As a future Special Educator, this experience would be highly valuable to my prospective career. The goal of this project is to research different application profiles to determine which would be most useful for students with ADHD based on usability. To achieve this, I will use several different software programs designed for student's with attention difficulty and investigate how these applications are functional for a student with ADHD. I expect to see that most of the applications I have sorted through will have similar or slightly differing approaches to assist students with attention difficulties. I also anticipate that some of these applications will have one or more uses which will ultimately be more accommodating. This project is important to the Special Education field because specialized education requires instruction to be individualized based on the needs of the student. Technology is incredibly useful to facilitate this specified approach to education while also providing the student with some independence.
