Her current interests include assistive technology, the inclusion of students with disabilities in general education classrooms, and developing individual supports and strategies to facilitate the community inclusion of people with disabilities.

Assistive technology (AT) was recognized by Congress as a viable need for people with disabilities when it passed the Tech Act in 1988. The legislation, which was reauthorized in 1994, has resulted in numerous programs and services that have helped people with disabilities access and use AT devices. The Tech Act's implications for people with learning disabilities is discussed in this article.
