Dan and I used the website http://www.specialeducation.ilstu.edu/ for our project. We found the Illinois State University website to be a very valid, credible, and up to date website for educators, students, and families to access. This well-designed website is an excellent resource that enables people in the community to contact professionals in the field of education, and learn of upcoming events that all individuals can attend.

Although this website is designed for those individuals involved in the special education program at Illinois State, the website provides a variety of resources including website links and various articles that will assist those that are in need of information concerning special education. The SEAT Center, is one particular link, that is a great resource and assistive technology center that is renowned for presenting, teaching, and providing assistive technology-based information. The SEAT Center is committed to providing these supports to a all persons, including those with special needs and other individuals with diverse backgrounds.

In addition to the links provided on this webpage, there is a column on the homepage that informs people and students in the community of upcoming events. This is a great resource to hear guest speakers whom are either professionals in special education, or they advocates in this field that can provide an array of invaluable knowledge that come from personal experiences.

This webpage is very well designed, and all links are working and also relative to the purpose of this website. The organization of webiste is consistent when going from page to page, because the layout, colors, font size and type are unchanging. For those that have diverse needs, such as those that have vision impairments, are able to access [|www.specialeducation.ilstu.edu] At the top of the page is an icon of an individual in a wheelchair, representing a link for those that have special needs. This link will transfer the user to a page of several links from both Illinois State University resources, as well as outside resources. This page also provides instructions of accessibility to the internet for those with special needs.
