Assistive Technology: Enhanced Learning for All
Assistive technology includes a set of federally mandated services and equipment for students with disabilities, the term also refers to valuable tools and strategies for including students with a wide range of learning styles in classroom activities. Examples of Assistive technology can be anything from triangular pencil grips, a talking calculator, a larger computer, or a voice amplifier for a teacher with vocal cord strain. A couple of struggles that educators are dealing with are considering each student's need for assistive technology and also the lack of AT-experienced teachers and related personnel, few sources of staff training focusing on education, and the need for additional funding. Even with these barriers, there are many examples of success using assistive technology.
