In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

Assistive Technologies for Asperger's Syndrome
- 2. Assistive Technology Assistive Technology consists of various items in a continuum from “low” tech to “high” tech. Various types of technology can be provided and used for the same student based upon individual need within a variety of activities and environments.
- 3. Assistive Technology “Low” Technology Any strategies/interventions that are not battery powered or electronically operated. “Low” tech strategies are usually low in cost and easy to use.
- 4. “Low” Technology Picture Exchange Communication Systems The Picture Exchange Communication System or PECS approach is a modified applied behavior analysis program designed for early nonverbal symbolic communication training.
- 5. “Low” Technology Dry Erase Boards A whiteboard is a nonelectronic variation of the traditional "rewriteable" schoolroom blackboard, but is white instead of black and of a material that can be written on with colored markers (known as dry erase markers).
- 6. “Low” Technology Laminated Photographs/ Visual Supports Many children who have autism find it easier to process information that is presented to them visually. These visual learners respond better too and learn quicker using materials such as photographs, pictures, sy mbols and objects than they do from listening.
- 7. Assistive Technology “Mid” Technology Strategies that require the use of batteries or basic electronic devices that are used primarily as a means to support expressive communication.
- 8. “Mid” Technology Tape Recorders Basic tape-recorders/audiocassette recorders are a helpful means of recording class notes and, in the workplace, instructions given by one's superior; also, taperecorders are required to play back taped books. Listening to a taped textbook while following along the same material in printed form is an effective multisensory approach to learning.
- 9. “Mid” Technology Voice Output Communication Aids Equipment that records voice and can be activated by touch. The voice is often paired with a picture clue.
- 10. “Mid” Technology Language Master Cards with recordable strips are run through the machine to produce sounds. You have the option of adding pictures to the cards.
- 11. Assistive Technology “High” Technology Strategies that are usually the most expensive and complex to use.
- 12. “High” Technology Sophisticated Voice Output Devices Speech Generating Devices are portable electronic devices that allow people using them to create a message and produce speech. These methods of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) are used as a communication system for people with little or no speech. They can assist both language comprehension and expression, helping to enable Communication Access for All.
