The Catalyst is a quarterly newsletter which has been a leader in the field since its beginning in 1981. When we began publishing, computer use for people with special needs was still more visionary than practical. Since then we've reported on both the increasing sophistication of technology and the increasing complexity of special education.

We've covered the profound changes in the lives of children and adults with special needs as they have benefitted from technology, as well as on the obstacles confronting them and those who serve them.

Our writers are highly qualified to examine the field from many points of view. We hear regularly from classroom teachers, special education directors, education professors, communication disorders specialists and speech/language therapists, parents, and computer users themselves.

Each issue includes features on new software, classroom tips, and special education issues. The Catalyst is written in lively, informative style that provides good reading as well as valuable information.

We'd like to be a resource for you!
