DiscoverEd is a web application that helps special educators find technology to support students with special needs. Special education programs in the US are on the rise, with 30% growth over the last decade, and encompassing both disability needs and supplemental needs programs. However, special educators struggle to find the right technologies to fit the needs of their students, spending time scouring the internet looking for answers. DiscoverEd will become your closest colleague, learning about your teaching environment and then connecting you to the best technologies for your students, and fostering a collaborative community for like-minded special educators.
