[kde-edu]: Your help sought for finding Linux software for disabled students.

[Cary]

Hello -

Boy, I have been searching ALL around to find appropriate educational 
software for Linux. I almost have resorted to MS OS or MAC, the VERY 
expensive alternative. I am attempting to build partnerships and 
effective collaborations n my community, specifically geared towards 
the
severely disabled students.

Currently, I have been working and making in-roads with a middle school
and the Administration of the Public school system wants me to be on 
their
Technological and Educational committee. I know how effective 
technology can be to enhance and supplement a core curriculum.

I want to know that if I choose to put MONEY into a pilot project of
Linux server with 3 to 5 thin-client stations were should I go to look 
for educational software regarding READING INTERVENTION for 5th and 6th 
graders but who have 2nd grade skills because of low cognitive skills 
etc.
View here to get a better idea; http://adatech.org/DaleySchool/1.html

How can you help me find appropriate software ? Can you advise me on
a small purchase of 1 server, 3 to 5 clients? Also, DO NOT hesitate to 
e-mail me.
I patiently await your professional and prompt response.

Cary
