Emily Glodowski

Glodowski's "ABILITIES Newsletter" project develops friendships and partnerships between students of various ability levels. The collaborative project brings together mainstream students and students with moderate mental disabilities to create a school newsletter using various technology equipment. Adaptive technology and assistive equipment allows students who do not possess the capability to read, write or type on their own to use a computer. The ABILITIES Newsletter enhances the self-esteem of all students, especially students with disabilities, and puts the spotlight on students who often do not receive applause and glory.
