Smart Tablets for the Critically Ill

My critically ill secondary students need 3 AirLiners to help them access the Smartboard. These students are in wheelchairs and stretchers and can not fully access the Smartboard due to the height.

I am the technology director for a school/hospital children's rehabilitation facility. Many of the students that we serve suffer from life threatening diseases such as cancer, or are the recipients of organ transplants. Other students have suffered through traumatic brain injury, MS, cerebral palsy etc. All of these students have major therapy needs.

Currently my school district is suffering through severe financial constraints. Any extras for the students come from the teachers themselves.

We need these AirLiners because it will give the students access to the SMART Board. Currently the students can not reach the entire board. They will use these tablets to do group and individual work in all of the secondary subjects.

We desperately need these AirLiners because it will give these critically ill students a better chance at their education. With the help of these devices the students can now interact with the material that is being taught. They can manipulate the information and make it their own individually or in groups. More importantly they can have the freedom and access to a real and meaningful education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
