I wonder what we know about the extent and nature of technology/computer
use
(or non-use) by girls with disabilities, who make up between 5 and 8
present
of all girls. My guess is relatively little research has been done. There
is,
of course, a body of literature on students with disabilities and
technology,
particularly assistive technology, but little, if any of this is
gender-specific. Do any of the panelists know of studies or have any
comments regarding technology and this group of girls?

Thanks.
