Providing Students With Technology Access

I am a paraprofessional to a student with Autism in an Animal Science class. There are only 2 computers in the back of the room and no other access to technology. Sometimes, they visit the computer lab for a research paper. Most of the money goes to feeding and caring for the animals in the kennel. They earn a little money when they take donations for occasional dog grooming. This is a tough call. The only answer I have for more access to technology, is more fund raising like the dog grooming. Students could also obtain jobs at their local vets office. They know enough (it is a vet 2 class) and the job would look great on a resume. The students are juniors and seniors so they are old enough. I think they would do it for more technology to make class more interesting.
