My own experience:
I have experienced a limited amount of assistive
technology. I had one student who had vision
problems and so I had to make englarged copies
for her and she also was able to magnify her
screen when we worked on the computer. I also
had to use a voice amplifier for another student. I
had not heard of a lot of the technologies listed
prior to this module.





Types of assistive technology:
Both screen readers and Braille tools are
communication types of assistive technology
because they help facilitate learning through aiding
a physical disability but it is not necessarily to help
them move, but to learn. I was drawn to both of
these because I have had a little experience with
students who are visually impaired.

Screen Readers:
Screen readers are most often used for those that are visually impaired. It can read text from a
website when a screen magnifier is not enough. This would be an extremely helpful tool for a
student that is visually impaired, in order to help them participate. It will also allow inclusion of
the student into group projects and some autonomy as well. Even with my student that used a
screen magnifier, she struggled to read a lot at one time. This would have been useful for her.
Braille tools:
There are multiple tools for Braille if a student knows how to read and use
Braille. There is software for math and science and reading and writing.
This site also gives information about how students can connect with
various smart phones. I had no idea there were so many resources if a
student uses Braille--but that would be the first step. But even using a few
of the resources available on this site would help the student in the
classroom for participation and learning.
