POHI -- Physically or Otherwise Health Impaired

What does it mean to be POHI? It means that an individual has a physical or other type of health impairment. Students in my program are identified with either a Physical Impairment (i.e.: cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, traumatic brain injury) or Other Health Impairment (i.e.: blood disorder, seizure disorder, ADD, ADHD). Many of my students also have Learning Disabilities or Cognitive Impairments. Combined all together, we have an eclectic group of students that love to learn but face many challenges.

*Don't let the POHI label fool you!!!!-----these are students that love to learn and are embracing the technology that is out there.

It's time...

Here it is, the day before the MACUL conference...the day before Liesha and I present to people what we're doing in our classrooms with Dragon, Symwriter and e-readers. It's been so much fun getting all of this ready, with the help of our students. Now, it's time to show it all off!

I'm excited about doing this but am also terrified! Technology is a wonderful thing but what if?......what if the powerpoint doesn't work? What if the sound system fails? What if I/we get tongue-tied?......what if? But, Liesha and I know the material and are passionate about what we do and the kids we work with. It's time to share what we do with others....
