- 2. What is Assistive Technology? • Assistive Technology (A.T.) is the use of technology to help individuals with a variety of disabilities. • A.T. enhances learning by using both their abilities and disabilities. • A.T. helps students reach their potential. • The use of A.T. promotes independence. • A.T. is usually an electronic device that a disabled individual might use to help them learn or function more easily. • A.T. can help plan, organize, make a schedule, task listen and more. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB9pKkZoJDc
- 3. Laws regarding the use of Assistive Technology FAPE and IDEA “Assistive Technology Act of 1988 established a grant program, administered by the US Department of Education, to provide federal funds to support State Programs that address assistive technology needs of individuals with disabilities.” “December 2, 2004 President George W Bush signed into law the Individuals with Disability Education Improvement Act (IDEA).” The Law Requires: “IDEA requires that AT devices and services be provided to students with a disability, if it is needed for their education program. As part of the IEP team, consideration must be given to whether the student needs some kind of AT device in order to receive a free and appropriate education. These services must be funded but the district and can not be denied based on affordability. If AT services are necessity they must be administered by a qualified professional. The IEP should specify whether the device can be used at both school and home. “ Resources: Assistive Technology and IDEA:Regulations by Joel Mittler, C.W. Post Campus, Long Island University.

Notes de l'éditeur
- This Assistive Technology PowerPoint addresses hearing and seeing impaired along with learning and physically disabled. There are several devices that can be used in the classroom and at home in order to improve learning, increase class participation, a greater sense of independence and makes them rely less on others.
- Assistive technology is usually referred to as software or hardware used to aide persons with disabilities. A.T. Students walk into a classroom with a wide array of background knowledge and experiences. They are all different and unique in their own way and therefore learn in a variety of ways. Students will disabilities also learn differently and sometimes need another resource or tool to aide in their learning process. Their A.T. might be needed due to a hearing or seeing impairment, learning or physical disability or a combination of these disabilities. With the use of hearing aides, electronic dictionaries, word-prediction programs, audio books and host of other devices person with disabilities can learn and be productive in the classroom.
- Because students with disabilities deserve an education and are capable of learning laws have been passed in order to ensure that students with disabilities increase, maintain, or improve their education. Laws have been established to ensure these students are still provided an education. There are also laws for AT in the work place.
- Students with hearing impairments are able to increase their learning with the use of hearing aides. This is usually the first thing we think of when we are working with students who have a hearing impairment.
- Students with vision impairments are unique, in my opinion, because it does seem that those that I have worked with have a greater use of other senses. Meaning, they seem to hear so much better and tell the direction of the noise. They also seem to focus more on those senses to help them make decisions. However, oddly they do have a great sense of confidence as well. Again, this is my experience but I am certain this is not the case with all students who are blind or have an impairment. My children went to a band camp with a blind trumpet player who could outplay anyone in the room as a middle school student. While another student who went to an art camp who had a severe impairment could paint masterpieces with his face about an inch from the page. It was amazing so don’t assume a disability is always a deficit that causes people not to have any brag moments.
- Just like students come in all shapes and sizes so do learning disabilities. Students can have a learning disability in math or reading or they may have been diagnosed with dyslexia. Perhaps the disability is something that occurred during birth or sense birth. Regardless, there are multitude of resources that can be used in order to fine tune their needs and enable them to improve their learning deficit.
