Technology is not only having a profound impact on the way we live our lives, but also how we learn and access information. For students with disabilities, technology can make the difference between success and failure in general education environments. Assistive Technology (AT) provides a means to help students compensate for their disabilities while building upon their strengths. Utilizing the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), this revised and updated DVD takes you into classrooms where AT solutions are being successfully implemented for students requiring:

• auditory processing supports
• fine-motor and writing supports
• reading supports

Observe first-hand how hardware and software programs not only assist students in being more successful academically, but how AT empowers them to be more confident and independent learners.

Assistive Technology:
What Every Educator Needs To Know- Laminated Guide

While many of us are empowered by computer technology in our personal lives, this has not always been the case for students who have been identified with physical and special learning needs. As great advances are made in the field of Assistive Technology (AT), it becomes increasingly more important for both general and special education professionals to become more knowledgeable about AT applications, as well as ways to increase students' access to the most appropriate tools.
 
With increased inclusion of students with disabilities into general education classrooms, it is essential that Child Study Teams, IEP Teams, RTI Teams and other similar problem-solving teams consider what AT assessments and services may be necessary to support these students in their instructional programs.

This reference guide includes a wide range of AT hardware and software solutions to address a number of areas including:

• Communication
• Writing
• Organization
• Reading
• Multimedia
