My class is comprised of 12 students with multiple disabilities and they speak Spanish as first language, they come from Latin America looking for a better life than their parents. They are full of dreams and hope. They want to give back to the American society becoming good citizens. Despite their disabilities, they are very eager to learn and and communicate in English with peers and staff. Every day we try to read a short book or story and some times I am able to provide xerox copies for all of them, mostly not, and I can not display pictures that will help them to infer related questions about the story. Technology is the answer but we have access to one computer and the school has only one document camera, one Smart board and we are more than 50 classes
