Technologies are wings enabling the persons with disabilities to fly in the technical world.
In the process of recruiting and assisting persons with disabilities into the field of technology, it has become apparent that by the time they graduate from high school, many persons with disabilities have already been discouraged by earlier years of deprivation, and are seriously lacking basic math, science and technical preparations that are keys for the entry into science and technology studies. Obviously, there is a urgent need to reach children with disabilities at a much earlier stage, especially for those who live in rural and isolated regions, in order to develop their interest and skills in math, science and technology. The intention was to fund teacher- initiated projects in classrooms to develop the mathematics, scientific and computer skills in school children with disabilities. Collaboration between teachers and available resources is highly encouraged. These regions tend to have least amount of resources available to students in general and those with disabilities in particular.
