Student B has a totally modified program while student C is visually impaired and student E has tactile sensory difficulties. The SMART Board was particularly useful for student E since its devices allow easier tactile handling of writing implements.
The addition of sharp colour helps with multisensory learning. One of the grade three students had trouble with short-term memory and the application of colour codes to words and phonetics has shown some encouraging results. The student repeats the task by colouring in the printout to match the board work.
