"I have just retired as a professor of special education, and I directed and taught a graduate program in adaptive technology, teaching teachers how to give their students with disabilities access to computer technology. I assume you are using adaptive hardware and software, and know of resources such as the Closing the Gap conference and website."

Dear Ron, Judith, Jillian, Joel & Neva, Bryan, Sarah, Vindyia, Barbara, Rebecca, ibelieveinkidshearts, Vicky, charmaine, Korein Foundation and Anonymous Donors, 

Thank you all for your kindness and generosity. With your help these critically ill students will have the same educational benefits as normal students do. With these net books these students will be able to do a host of activities that they previously could never attempt to do, With in the science classroom these students will be able to research major scientific concepts with ease. They will also be able to analyze scientific data and create hypothesis upon the material given to them. This will vastly improve their educational opportunities from within the world of scientific inquiry
Thank you again,

With gratitude,
Mr. D.

"It nearly always feels good to reach out to others. There’s something especially pleasing, here, knowing that the items our donations will help to purchase are likely be particularly valued & particularly meaningful to these kids, many of whose daily lives probably make what we might regard as “the smallest things” seem almost infinitely precious."
