Although technology is increasingly being considered an instructional tool for students with disabilities, effective integration of technology into the preK—12 classroom for students with disabilities has been limited.

By creating an environment where teacher educators, preservice teacher education students, and preK—12 teachers can learn together, changes can occur in how technology is effectively applied to the instruction of students with disabilities.
