The computer has made school a lot easier now. I don’t need an assistant teacher to do it for me, it makes me more independent.
If I didn’t have the computer, I probably wouldn’t have made it to grade 8 because all of my work is done on the computer.

It has helped cause I can’t really write on paper and it has helped with spelling and I don’t lose my work cause it is all saved.
It helps a lot because I don’t have to write ‘cause it is hard for me. So is spelling.
I would tell them that it helps me with spelling, writing, and makes everything easier to keep organized.

I want to tell people that I feel good using the computer.
I feel like 007. It is fun.

Without the technology I have received from SET-BC I would not have been able to achieve the level of independence I need to become a successful student and normal teenager.
