NEO laptops fit perfectly into a Response to Intervention (RTI) framework because they provide the personalized practice and progress monitoring students and educators need to benefit from the key ideals of RTI:
- Evidence-based programs to support high-quality instruction
- Targeted interventions to help struggling students catch up to their peers
- Progress monitoring information to drive data-driven decision making
- Support—including family involvement—to make sure every student
experiences success
NEO laptops come with KeyWords, a language-based keyboarding application that includes instruction, accuracy builders, and speed builders; Write On! across-curriculum writing lessons organized by grade, process, and theme; and the assignment-creation software AccelTest, which allows students to take benchmark tests on the laptops, instead of using pencil and paper.
NEO laptops come with extra tools for students, including step-by-step writing instructions, advanced organizers, and guided reading journals, or teachers may create their own. Teachers can differentiate writing instruction by loading supports on the laptops of only the students that are struggling, and continual progress monitoring is available using AccelTest with this tool.
NEO laptops are well regarded by the special education community because of features such as sticky keys and larger-sized font, and can be used as Assistive Technology at this level.
