Third grader Kellie has Down syndrome. Although she can read and write, the fine motor exercise of writing quickly fatigues her. Which of the following accommodations might help Kellie be more successful?
  1. Allow her to use a computer and adapted keyboard.
  2. Assign a peer to write for Kellie.
  3. Send Kellie to the resource room during writing time.
  4. Kellie doesn’t need to do writing assignments.
Explanation
Answer: A-Many children with learning disabilities or special needs seem to have an aptitude for the computer. Because computer programs are often self-correcting, children find them less frustrating and may be willing to engage longer in a writing task. An adapted keyboard has large keys that are easy to see and touch.
