12. “Using assistive technology with your
child prevents your child from missing
out on content solely because he can’t
yet read or write. If your child cannot
(yet) read, providing audio-books, text-
to-speech capability with content on
computers, etc., for science, social
studies, literature, and other subjects
that are content-based just makes
sense.”
