Portable Word Processor

The eighth device I bring to you is the Portable Word Processor.

This device would be great for students who have limited fine motor skills, difficulty writing or ADHD. The "portable" part makes it easy to be transferred to school and at home for use. It also allows the student to feel some sort of independence and lets them have a chance to take some control of their learning. Given the fact that I have ADHD, I would have loved to have a device that I could take home with me to do my work. It would have greatly helped me, especially with keeping me engaged in the activity. However, I was a very forgetful child (still am) so mot likely I would have either lost it or left it at home. More than likely, for me I probably would have left the device at school everyday. 

A common brand found in schools is the NEO Word Processor.
