“Dell technology has allowed Jerrica to be a part of the classroom. Now she has a tool to share her personality.” - Bret Foster, CIO, Anderson County Schools
Anderson County Schools wanted to make it easier for a student with severe cerebral palsy to communicate and take part in classroom activities. Previous attempts at technology solutions were frustrating for the student and required a high level of manual intervention.
The district purchased a DellTM LatitudeTM XT tablet PC and mounted it to the student’s wheelchair with a special connecting arm. Specialized voice software allows the student to select picture icons using the tablet’s Capacitive Touch Screen and “speak” through the tablet’s built-in speaker.
