- Smartphone interfaces should be designed with short, bursty usage sessions in mind rather than long desktop sessions. Features that require many clicks or inputs should be minimized as clicks and inputs are difficult on small touchscreens.
- Designs must also account for the inaccuracy of touchscreens and avoid small, closely packed interface elements to prevent accidental selection. Notifications and messages should be used carefully so as not to overwhelm the user. Thorough testing with real users is important.
Speech recognition
Speech recognition software can enable children with disabilities to use computers through speaking instead of typing. It allows those with limited mobility to access computers and the internet just by talking. The software also lets children express their thoughts directly into a computer just by speaking. While initial use may require practice, speech recognition opens opportunities for children that otherwise would not be possible.
Vi tools
The document discusses various assistive technologies for individuals with visual impairments including screen readers which make computer displays accessible through text-to-speech or braille output, scanning apps that allow documents to be converted to editable digital formats, and speech recognition software for typing or issuing commands by voice. Tips are provided for making documents screen reader friendly and examples of popular screen reader, scanning, and speech recognition applications are listed along with their benefits.
Distance Training: Low Tech Solutions for High Tech Success
We often purchase state of the art distance technology yet experience numerous frustrations in delivering services to students who most need it. This presentation focuses on lessons learned by staff of the Special Education Service Agency (SESA). SESA provides instructional support and training in low incidence disabilities, to school district special education personnel, across Alaska’s 54 school districts.
Patrick Pillai, PhD is executive director of the Special Education Service Agency in Anchorage, Alaska. A native of South Africa, Patrick studied Deaf education at Gallaudet University in Washington DC. When he is not working he spends time hiking with his wife and two daughters on Alaska's many beautiful trails.
Assistive technology
Assistive technology refers to devices that help people with disabilities perform tasks. This includes low-tech devices like pencil grips and magnifiers as well as more advanced technologies like computers, braille displays, and voice recognition software. Schools are required by law to provide assistive technologies that can help students with disabilities learn. Examples of assistive technologies for different disabilities include FM systems for the hearing impaired, reading machines and braille devices for the visually impaired, and switches or eye-tracking for students with physical disabilities.
School Of 2020 (Joanna & Irene)
Desktop computers, laptops, and tablets will continue to be used in schools due to their ability to access digital documents and the internet. Touchscreen technology allows for more interactive lessons and will likely become more common. SMART boards are an interactive teaching tool that engages students and facilitates discussion. Overhead projectors are becoming obsolete as information can now be easily updated on SMART boards and computers rather than printed transparencies. However, printers and scanners will remain important for obtaining hard copies of documents and digitizing physical materials.
Sensory Aids for Persons with Visual Impairments
The document discusses various sensory aids and assistive technologies that can help people with visual impairments in different activities of daily living such as travel, self-care, reading, and recreation. It describes common types of visual impairments and summarizes different types of visual aids like magnifiers, screen readers, audio books, and refreshable braille displays that can help those with low vision or blindness access information.

A smartphone is a mobile phone that performs computer-like functions with features like internet access and apps. Theodore Paraskevakos first conceptualized smartphones in 1971. Smartphones run various operating systems like Android, iOS, Windows Phone and more. In education, smartphones can be used as dictionaries, for research, note-taking, and scheduling. While smartphones save time and provide access to information, they can also be distracting and overuse is costly.
What's new? September 2012
Tablets can provide assistive technology support for students but earlier tablet PCs had limitations like weight, battery life, and screen size. Newer tablets address some of these issues but still have different capabilities than desktops. The cloud allows content to be automatically converted into different accessible formats like large print or audio for use on different devices. Services like azzapt provide this type of accessible content conversion and storage in the cloud. This allows students to access support materials in their preferred format regardless of their location or device.
