| Title | New Computer Textbooks Available for Learning-Disabled ESL Students |
| Body | From: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050208/phtu002_1.html Visibooks, LLC has created the first computer class textbooks for students with learning disabilities and students who speak English as a second language. The new textbooks, called Visibooks, employ an illustration-based approach tailored to the needs of LD and ESL students. Created as part of a U.S. Department of Education study, they contain only one-tenth as many words as previous computer texts. Although developed for students with Dyslexia, reading difficulties, and limited English proficiency, the textbooks are becoming popular with mainstream students. Almost all are purchased by non-disabled learners, or for use in mainstream computer classes. For more information, visit: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050208/phtu002_1.html |
