This presentation will provide an overview of existing technology-based interventions that support writing instruction for students with high-incidence disabilities. Innovative technology-based graphic organizers (TBGOs) with embedded self-regulated learning strategies and UDL supports will be shared. The results of the TBGOs testing with more than 1,000 3rd-12th grade students including 800 struggling writers with and without high-incidence disabilities and ELLs will be discussed. Students’ and teachers’ perceptions will be shared.
