Word Prediction Software

Word prediction software predicts a word while the student types in the first few letters. Using this type of software would provide students with physical disabilities the ability to complete their work. Other students who would benefit from this software would be students who have difficulty writing, poor fine motor control, or low muscle tone in their wrists or hands, word prediction software will allow them to complete their work faster, as they don't have to fully type each word.
