A Longitudinal Case Study On The Use Of Assistive Technology To Support Cognitive Processes, Vivian Johnson, Carol Price

Vivian Johnson

This chapter describes a chronology of increasingly sophisticated technological supports and interventions used across complex formal and informal educational settings with a 10th grade female student who has documented learning challenges.
