Slightly off topic, but students with disabilities that cripple them on computers will be dealing with those issues their whole lives - I just think that it's awesome that they'll be able to start exploring the technology and assistive devices that will make computer use possible for them while still in the low-stakes world of high school, with techs to help them out. It's a great opportunity for learning that would be lost if they were simply provided with an Apple device with Apple approved assistive technology, and told to make the best of it since there's no way to customize anything.
