<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:">I have worked with special needs students in Programming with Alice. They do get really excited about what they can do. Mostly, it’s matter of patience and expectations. I allow them to take baby steps as compared to my ‘regular’ students and have everything mapped out step by step depending on the need. I use check lists. I’ve worked with students with IEP’s and one young man with Autism. All are high school students. I wish you the very best in introducing them to a whole new world. </span></div>
