General text materials for special education students are included in the regular education budget Object 5 covers specialized supplies and materials unique to individual children’s specific disabilities (ex. expanded visual text, specialized scanners and language producing software for children with visual impairments, and augmented auditory computer-driven speaking program software). This budget Object has not risen significantly and is level funded because the district has taken advantage of past grant funding to develop a repertoire of software licenses for recording for blind and dyslexic students at the elementary and secondary levels. Some parents have also chosen to individually purchase software and the CD hardware that can be primarily used at home. Word processing documents can be easily emailed to school or carried via flash drives. Advanced technology has helped in this area. TOTAL: $900 Increase: 0.00%
