Learning Management Systems is an excellent assistive technology tool that can be used for students with learning disabilities. It is a software tool that delivers educational materials over the web. The great thing is that it serves the purpose of a teacher as well. It is a software teacher that manages users or my case students by assigning roles to users. It also allows students to begin within their level and assign groups. It provides a calendar so that students can practice being organize and prepared and generate scores based on a grading system. I guess teachers can integrate it within their lessons or as a homework incentive. Students also have ownership over lessons and sources in various media formats. LMS can be accessed by open source (downloaded for free) or purchased.
The only problem is that there are not many free sources for our students except maybe Moodle. Also the problem that many also faces is access to computers and the Internet. Hopefully in the next 5 or 10 years this wouldn't be a problem but the idea is 1 step ahead of nothing.
