Touching the Future of Special Education

Help me give my students a touchscreen Chromebook to more easily access activities in our curriculum to practice academic skills.

My Project

In our classroom, a few of my students have disabilities that make using a regular computer mouse really tough. They want to join in on digital activities just like everyone else, but the tools we have right now make that hard for them.

A touchscreen Chromebook would change that in an instant.

With a touchscreen, my students can tap, swipe, and drag with their fingers—no mouse needed. It lets them work more independently, participate in class activities, and show what they’re capable of without getting stuck on the technology.

Your support would help make our classroom more inclusive and give every student a fair chance to learn. The Chromebook would open doors for students who often feel left out, and help them feel confident and successful in their work.

Thank you for helping make learning accessible for all of our kids!
