All students can benefit from using technology to develop twenty-first-century skills and to prepare for the jobs of the future. But technology also serves another important function for the more than 6 percent of the student population, or more than... 2 million children, who have physical or learning disabilities: Technology can help democratize learning for many of these students and level the learning field by enabling them to participate in the same learning and social experiences as their peers.VIDEO: The Sound of Learning: Albano BerberiRunning Time: 8 min.The research done on visually impaired students indicates that only 40 percent of such students are using the kind of technology that Albano Berberi -- a blind Advanced Placement computer science student, devoted gamer, and violin prodigy -- employs every day. Many teachers are not aware of how useful these technologies are. Others are simply not comfortable with incorporating the devices into their instruction.The situation is the same for students with other disabilities.

"What most people don't realize is that assistive technology has been progressing at the same rate." From voice-activated software to customized laptops, tech is changing the way disabled students communicate, learn, and play. (10:11)

The students who breeze in and out of room 288B at Brooklyn's Edward R. Murrow High School are your typical teens. They chatter, they laugh, and eventually, they buckle down to work on school assignments. The ease with which they navigate the room ma...kes it easy to forget the thing they all have in common -- they are visually impaired. (3:47)
