QUESTION: Teaching basic technology skills to kids w/ disabilities?

[Andrea Brown]

I'm looking for any information out there about teaching basic technology skills to kids with disabilities.  Specifically, we're thinking about the skills you might use in a basic office setting - typing, internet, email, etc.  I'm hoping to write a curriculum for our upper high school students, and I'm looking for a jumping off point: research, another school doing the same sort of thing, anything would be helpful. 

Thanks!

Our dist. doesn't have a specific curriculum for this, and we're K-6 also, but I do work w/ kids w/ special needs over the summer in our summer school program. What I mean is, during the year I work w/ kids w/ needs, but they're in the regular ed program and often have aides w/them. During the summer, I work w/ classes of just kids w/ special needs. Does that make sense? When I work w/ those kids in the summer, some of whom are in grades 7-8, we use online math games (which ones we use depends on the kids' level), the program Graph Club, Jigzone.com, Spelling City, finding their homes or schools on Google Earth, and animal research on Arkive.org. I don't know how much this helps you since it's so undefined, but these might be at least some suggestions for sites or programs to consider as you develop your curriculum.
