Assistive technology is any device or software that is used to enhance the abilities of individuals with disabilities. It can range from simple tools like pencil grips and adapted scissors, to more complex devices like electronic communication devices or speech-to-text software. Knowing what tools are available and what works best for your students is a huge plus. Sometimes it takes some trial and error, but once you get it right, you will see growth in your students. In this week’s episode I am sharing some different types of assistive technology and some key things to consider when choosing for your students. In this episode you will learn:   The benefits of using assistive technology with your students. How to prepare your students for the responsibility of using this technology. How to teach your students how to use the different tools available. About different avenues for paying for the assistive technology.
