Assistive technology is available to help individu- als with many types of dis- abilities — from cognitive problems to physical im- pairment. This presenta- tion will focus specifically on assistive technology for individuals with learning differences. The use of tech- nology to enhance learning is an effective approach for many children. Additional- ly, students with learning differences, such as dyslex- ia, often experience greater success when they are al- lowed to use their abilities (strengths) to work around their disabilities (chal- lenges).

Because of that, we would like to spark a discussion about how people face cultur- al differences tied to death and dying when they move to another locale. These differ- ences often go beyond funer- ary practices, and can in- clude how the elderly and people with illness are cared for in a society or a commu- nity, how people grieve, how families are organized and structured.
