Students with specific learning disabilities (LD) in written composition may experience difficulties that restrict their ability to demonstrate in writing what they know and can communicate orally. Voice-input technology now allows users to speak into a microphone and have their words appear on a computer screen in a word processing format, ready for revision and editing. This exploratory study reports the efforts of one sixth-grade student to learn to use this technology to assist written communication. The findings suggest that the technology holds promise for students with LD when it is refined to allow less difficulty in using it.
