ADHD and Children Who Are Gifted Frequently, bright children have been referred to psychologists or pediatricians because they exhibited certain behaviors (e.g., restlessness, inattention, impulsivity, high activity level, day-dreaming) commonly associated with a diagnosis of ADHD. Almost all of these behaviors, however, might be found in bright, talented, creative, gifted children. Until now, little attention has been given to the similarities and differences between the two groups, thus raising the potential for misidentification in both areas-giftedness and ADHD. This digest provides specific differences between the two groups that will help parents and educators better understand and evaluate their children.

168. COMPUTER BASED SCIENCE ASSESSMENT And Students With Learning Disabilities Academic paper, discusses issues such as adaptive testing, figural response testing, computer simulations and anchored assessment. http://www.rit.edu/~easi/itd/itdv01n4/article7.html

c. 1994 David D. Kumar COMPUTER BASED SCIENCE ASSESSMENT: IMPLICATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES David D. Kumar College of Education Florida Atlantic University 2912 College of Education Davie, Florida 33314 ABSTRACT Computer technology can be invaluable for assessing learning disabled students in science since it opens up opportunities for developing innovative assessment tools in science education. The nature of computers as information processing tools, the role of computer technology in user-friendly interactive learning environments, and the possibility of designing instructional tools to meet individual needs of students, make computers potentially powerful tools for assessment. Computer-based assessment applications used in science, such as Computerized Adaptive Testing, Figural Response Item Testing, Computer Simulations, and Anchored Assessment can be appropriated for assessing students with learning disabilities. INTRODUCTION While exploring avenues for improving science assessment for the learning disabled students, one should not overlook the emerging role of computer technology in assessment. The following discussion will address how computer technology might be a promising tool for designing assessment environments for such students. COMPUTERS FOR SCIENCE ASSESSMENT: IMPLICATIONS Research and development of innovative computer environments for science assessment is a field that is slowly but steadily growing. A comprehensive review of computer applications in science assessment is reported in Helgeson and Kumar (1993). It should be noted here that this review did not find any computer-based assessment tools specifically designed for individuals with learning disabilities.

It records my personal investigation of ways in which technology can improve access to music for all pupils and, in particular, for those with disabilities. It considers two important questions: 1) Does the technology necessary to address each and every area of the music curriculum exist?
