ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY: FACT OR MYTH?

That kind of technology is only
for the severe and profound
students.

MYTH!!!!!!
Defining Assistive Technology

•

National Center for Learning
Disabilities:

Tools used to help people with learning
disabilities “leverage their strengths and work
around or compensate for specific learning
disabilities.”

•

Wikipedia:

Any technology “that is used to increase,
maintain, or improve functional capabilities of
individuals with disabilities.”
Resources for the Struggling Writers
• Many schools are embracing
BYOD. As a result, educators
need a list of LD-friendly apps
especially when working with
students that have difficulty
with writing. The NCLD
presents a vetted list of
mobile apps to target this
need.

• National Center for Learning
Disabilities
• Apps to Help Students with
Dysgraphia and Writing
Difficulties
• http://www.ncld.org/studentsdisabilities/assistive-technologyeducation/apps-students-lddysgraphia-writing-difficulties
Resources for the Struggling Reader
• The Georgia Department of
Education provides a list of ATs • GADOE Assistive Technology
Devices
for struggling readers. This list
• http://www.gpat.org/Georgiaincludes age ranges and skill
Project-for-Assistiveareas covered by each tool.
Technology/Pages/AssistiveTechnology-Devices.aspx
• Select Assistive Technology
Devices – Reading
Key Points to Remember

• There are a variety of different disabilities, cognitive
and physical
• Disabilities do not go away, rather the person learns
to adapt to their deficiencies
• Assistive technologies can aid in this process of
adaptation
• There is a place for adaptive technology in all classes
dependent on students’ needs
