Hi Terri,
That is exactly what I was looking for. I just emailed the link to the student and his parents. It will open so many doors for this family.
I will keep you posted. I have a two hour home visit planned tomorrow, so I will get him on the website and show him what I have been exploring. It is exactly what he is interested in-just hasn't had the opportunity in Central Oregon. Thank you!!
I encourage you to visit their web site. In a nutshell, they support/encourage individuals with disabilities to be active in technology. Programs to support teachers, students, career engagement, etc. They used to have camps and an internet pen pal type of mentoring program pairing young people planning on pursuing college who also have disabilities. I believe it is very important for our students with disabilities to connect with others who contribute to society despite having a disability and peers who have the similar hopes and fears. (Ok, I'll step down from my soap box now. )
Lots of cool stuff... too many to list. https://www.washington.edu/doit/
Good luck! Let me know if your student finds something of interest for him/her there.

Yes I do. One of these days I'll find one to post.

I live in rural Central Oregon and appreciate all input.
