[LM_NET] Target: Tech (Adaptive)

[Marya Kilbourne <loonlake14826@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello,

We have a 17 yr old physically able, Special Ed student, who has a very serious 
reading/writing  disability.  Since the beginning of this school year, he has been 
trying to use some type of adaptive tech software that will type out what he says 
aloud on the pc.  However, due to the student's poor grammar, etc., the application 
is not working.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of any other type of adaptive 
technology that would help this student complete his assignments?  Has anyone tried 
that pen that reads aloud as you move it along the text?  Any other audio to text 
ideas?

I would greatly appreciate any ideas.
