Assistive Technology: A parent's perspective

The Family Center on Technology and Disability puts out a monthly newsletter. This month's focus is a parent perspective on assistive technology.

"As we begin the 2012-2013 school year, the Family Center on Technology and Disability is pleased to bring you the insights of Dana Nieder of New York City, a parent and former teacher and the author of the blog Uncommon Sense.

"Ms. Nieder is the mother of four-year-old Maya who is experiencing a so-far undiagnosable inability to vocalize, as well as fine and gross motor challenges. Through her blog, Ms. Nieder records her struggles, discoveries, and the resources she has found to be most helpful in navigating through the maze of challenges that are all-too-familiar to families of children with physical, sensory, and/or cognitive impairments. Readers of her blog benefit from Ms. Nieder’s generous sharing of photographs and videos documenting Maya’s experiences."
