Soraya Martin

California ninth grader Soraya Martin loves creative writing.

She says stories come naturally to her, but words are different.

I have dyslexia, so I've struggled with that my whole life.

She'd resisted using assistive technology like dictation software until last year because she just didn't want to feel singled out at school.

Now, as screen limit policies are rolling out quickly across the country, disability advocates worry assistive technology built into cell phones, laptops, and tablets could be unintentionally swept up too.

They hope state and school leaders slow down to include disabled voices in the national conversation.
