Exploring how sensory disabilities trigger isolation and learning challenges, this work presents a step-by-step model for assessing individual needs and matching students with tailored technology solutions. It emphasizes overcoming barriers to foster student engagement, boost connectedness, and transform education.
Dr. Scherer, author of the highly acclaimed Living in the State of Stuck: How Technology Impacts the Lives of People with Disabilities, explores the way disabilities, especially those involving the senses, can lead to isolation and a lack of amp quot connectedness, amp quot and how this in turn leads to learning difficulties. She then provides a step-by-step model for assessing and evaluating individual students on their needs and finding the right technology to help each student.

Marcia J. Scherer, PhD, is director of the Institute for Matching Persons and Technology in Webster, NY. She also is associate professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of Rochester Medical Center, and senior research associate, International Center for Hearing and Speech Research (a joint program of the University of Rochester and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf/Rochester Institute of Technology). She received a PhD and an MPH from the University of Rochester.
