Empowering K-12 students with disabilities to learn computational thinking and computer programming (original) (raw)

Mr. Rose, a third grade general education teacher, and Ms. Smith, a special education teacher, co-teach in an urban elementary school with a high number of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school integrates computer science and computational thinking into curriculum as part of their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) initiative. Mr. Rose and Ms. Smith have identified several challenges they will need to address to meet the needs of several of their students with learning disabilities. These challenges include difficulty with complex, multistep problem solving, lack of access to and experience with technology, and difficulty with fine motor skills.
