- Comprehension is hindered by the students ability to read with accuracy and speed reducing fluency and comprehension.
- Students who lack decoding skills may have impacted ability in cognitive planning which may lead to lower comprehension scores. 
- The use of Text to Speech reading accommodations produce much higher reading comprehension scores for students with learning disabilities.

- Many students struggle with Learning disabilities struggle with low reading comprehension scores stemming from slow reading rate and poor decoding skills.
- This gap in decoding skills manifests most frequently in content vocabulary-specific words leading to the student's lack of comprehension impacting comprehension of coursework-specific vocabulary.
- The results of the study proved that the use of Text to Speech Assistive Technology tools increased reading fluency.

- The goal was to determine how these accommodations were experienced by users.
- They used both qualitative and quantitative studies to answer the hypothesis.
- Unlike the previous two citations this paper looked at a spectrum of Assistive Technology classroom accommodations.
- The binding thread to the original paper was the use of Text to Speech reading accommodations. ]]> 2021-03-25 00:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/brandontaylor1/wm7twyf23ypd2qs4/wish/1350569242
