Survey's: How technology aids students with learning Disabilities

Please take these surveys accordingly to help me gather research for my project to show how technology aids students with learning disabilities. It is a known fact that students with learning disabilities learn completely different than the average student. I know form first hand experience. I would not say that I suffer from dyslexia but I grow everyday from my learning disability and intend to help other children see how a learning disability is not a disadvantage at life but an advantage. Most students who have dyslexia use different parts of their brain more than the others, for example I fail to use the part of my brain that helps me with my short term memory, comprehension, spelling, and writing. However other parts of my brain work really fast and well. I excel when it comes to creative wringing, sports,music, and building things. Being able to see things in different ways means that I learn and take in information in different ways. For me technology has always been a MAJOR outlet for me. It it were not for the speedy online dictionary I would not have made it though high school. My brothers and I were also privileged to use Dragon Speak which is a program that as you talk your way through your paper the computer program types what you say. These technologies have help my brothers and I (who both have dyslexia) to get through high school and many classes and over come out disability. If you would be so kind to participate in my survey below and help me acquire information for my project to show what schools and students are missing without technology and how it would be really beatifically if they had small things like Dragon Speak.
Below there are two different surveys the first one if for teachers and the second for students. Please take what ever one fits your situation because the questions are different. The survey is anonymous but your answers will be pulled into a final tally.
