Abstract
An emerging body of research reports on the benefits of assistive technology for students with learning disabilities in a variety of academic tasks. This article describes use of such technology in an integrated reading, writing, and skills curriculum that supported college students whose reading scores were between fourth- and seventh-grade levels. Also included is a description of the benefits of common assistive technology software programs and examples of learning activities designed to scaffold students' comprehension and writing using this technology. Finally, the article reports the educational outcomes for eight students, highlighting the efficacy of combining well-documented learning strategies with assistive technology. This article adds to the growing body of evidence that points to the benefit of combining technology with solid instructional and learning strategies.
