The eSpecial Needs website at http://www/eSpecialNeeds.com/ boasts a diversity of resources and assistive educational tools for students with disabilities. According to its founder, The "eSpecial Needs" program was started in 2003 in St. Louis, Missouri. Resources for children with special needs were difficult to find and parents more often had to rely on school districts to supply them with therapeutic devices, which could be used at home,” http://www/eSpecialNeeds.com. In the case of the “eSpecial Needs” child, the founder had a son with autism who had language delays which created other educational issues. By filling a need for one child, the realization came that other students with disabilities could benefit by having assistive technological resources and products a click away.
Danny’s story in Part I of “eSpecial Needs”- Therapeutic Resources for Students with Disabilities” underscores the need to have assistive technology tools and resources in the classroom and in the gym. As a premier provider of adaptive tools, software, equipment, manipulatives, and other assistive technology for students with disabilities, The "eSpecial Needs” at http://www.eSpecialNeeds.com/ fills a need for families and school communities struggling to provide full inclusion for students with disabilities.
As children continue to grow developmentally, the need for “eSpecial Needs” resources and product lines will continue to grow as well. By being proactive and progressive, The "eSpecial Needs” fills an assistive technological need for students with disabilities. For Danny, who continues to find real inclusion with his ProSeries 1412 AmTryke Tricycle as he increases his access to mainstream classrooms and his Physical Education class activities, “eSpecial Needs” has been the ultimate gift of educational equity.
