Hi Irene,
Just going to go a different tangent… a few questions…
Is the special school Mild, Moderate, Severe/Profound, ASD, EBD or which?
I ask as the needs of the students may vary depending on where they’re at. I service a Moderate, Severe/Profound school and the students stopped using laptops a few years ago due to continuing difficulties…
There were screen breakages, drooling on the keyboard, keys pulled off, etc… they have since moved to iPads with Survivor cases, switches and bluetooth devices (speakers, etc.) - more durable, easier for the students (apps are simpler, larger selection to choose from, long battery life, etc.)
Also - just to check - is your Wifi not great - or your broadband connection? (Very different things)
