ALT Digital technologies have the potential to transform education for all students, especially those with disabilities. But different students have different needs. The Center on Inclusive Software for Learning looked at how we can develop software solutions that have the built-in intelligence to adapt to different students’ needs, while still allowing teachers to customize the experience for their students and encouraging the students themselves to take agency in their own learning and develop the metacognitive strategies that will help them succeed.

ALT You are not broken.There is nothing broken about you.The way you exist in the world is different, and people are going to tell you that difference means that you’re broken or wrong somehow.You’re not.You don’t need anyone’s permission to exist in the way that you do. You don’t deserve to be punished for the way your brain works. You don’t deserve to be forced into doing things that are painful or upsetting to you. You are allowed to flap, and jump, and clap, and rock, and move your body in the ways that feel natural for you. The ways your body moves are beautiful and brilliant. You don’t have to suppress that for anyone. You are a human being. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that your ways of being make you less than human. It’s not true, it will never be true. You are human, you are worthy of love and respect, and dignity. You deserve love even when you struggle,even when you have hard days,even when the people around you make you feel like you’re hard to love.
