The presentation describes Assistive Tech for People With Disabilities.
There is no doubting the powerful role that technology has played and will continue to play in changing the world in which we live. People with disabilities meet barriers of all types in their day to day life.
However, technology is helping to lower many of these barriers. Overall, technology aims to allow people with disabilities to participate more fully in all aspects of life (home, school and community) and increases their opportunities for education, social interactions, and potential for meaningful employment. Therefore creating greater independence and control among disabled individuals.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. What is Assistive Technology?
• Many students with disabilities of all ages
need Assistive Technology (AT) to get
through everyday school activities.
• Reasons students may need AT
– Mobility
– Communication
– Participation
– Vision/Hearing
3. What to do in the Beginning (for
teachers)
1. Find out detailed information about the child and the
family.
2. Identify participation activities and what is holding them
back from participating more
3. How will you notice the changes as the occur?
Brainstorm if an intervention would affect participation
more.
4. Steps – cont’d
4. Think of Assistive Technology solutions for the students
in need
5. Try out the Assistive Technology on the students
6. Identify what worked and what needs to be fixed for next
time
These steps should be followed by all education
professionals in order to determine what to do regarding
AT for special needs children
The steps can be viewed more in depth at LDOnline
5. Assistive Technology in the
Classroom
• IDEA defines AT as "any item, piece of equipment, or product
system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or
customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the
functional capabilities of a child with a disability"
• Some of the most common AT include:
– Visual problems – Braille textbooks, books on tape, eyeglasses, large
print books
– Communication problems – Communication boards and books, pictures
and photos, electronic dictionaries
– Students with studying problems – Highlighters, post-its, electronic
organizers, portable word processors
– Hearing problems – Hearing aids, CC Television, pictures and photos,
communication boards

6. More In-Depth with Books on Tape
• Books on tape are great AT’s for students with
many different disabilities. Students with visual
impairments benefit the most from these books,
but students with ADHD or learning disabilities
can also excel by using an audio book.
• These books can help students focus more,
especially if they have a hard time reading
certain words or distracted by other noises.
• Books on tape are available everywhere now-a-
days and they are usually accessible on learning
tablets that many students utilize daily
7. The Truth of Assistive Technology
• It’s crucial for young students to be introduced to an
enriching academic environment where they have the AT
they need.
• Surveys say that 45% of students who need AT are not
receiving it.
• Children need family
support more than
anything, especially when
they are affected by a
disability.
8. Individual Educational Plan (IEP)
• The IEP’s created by the educational
professionals and the parents will
determine what AT’s are necessary.
• IEP’s can be adjusted and changed when
necessary if certain AT’s are not working.
• IEP’s need to be reevaluated after a year
to see if progress was made. Students
with special needs need IEP’s in order to
succeed in the classroom.
9. Encouragement to Give to Parents
• Teachers should always communicate with the
parents
• Make sure to always ask them questions
because they will know more about the child’s
behavior outside of school
• Tell the parents about organizations and groups
that they can get involved in to learn more about
having a child with special needs and dealing
with assistive technologies
