Research regarding the relationship among students with cognitive disorders, educational learning, and various learning techniques can be helpful in discovering ways to assist such students in educational advancement. This study investigates how the learning process of middle - to- high-school-aged students with a cognitive disorder can be influenced by the use of alternative instructional methods. It is believed that assistive technology will allow the students to develop academically as opposed to the traditional classroom setting. Reasons for this hypothesis could include that persons with a cognitive disability have major limitations in regards to learning adaptive skills (¡§Cognitive Disabilities,¡¨ 2002), the general education curriculum is not designed for students with such disabilities, and the teaching material is considered high-level for the underdeveloped students. The findings, analysis, and recommendations of the study are discussed below. Effects of
