Using Assistive Technology
Assistive technology is an indispensable tool for removing barriers to education for students with learning disabilities. Equitable use of assistive technology begins with a detailed discussion about the unique strengths and needs of the student. Assessment data such as psychological testing, academic testing, and personal information is readily available for students with an identified learning disability. For students who are not formally identified, school-level testing, personal information and observational data will be necessary. Using a tool such as AT Select is a good starting point. This web resource helps educators determine which AT is best to support a student and what specific outcomes can be expected.
