- "Universal Design Learning" as a guide and ressource for lesson planning
- "Guided Notes" for students that have a difficult time following lecture or assigned reading
- "E-Reader" to read content from the Internet, word processing files, scanned-in text or typed-in text, enhancing text by adding spoken voice, visual highlighting
- Creating a "Rubric" (assessment form to translate the achievement of the students) that helps students to understand what they learn, provides information for a portfolio for use by parents and teachers.
- How should these strategies and technologies enable the disabled students to be successful in school?
