    As educators we need to be aware of assistive technologies so we can plan for inclusive classrooms for students with disabilities. Assistive technology provides educational resources for students with disabilities and allows them to be able to participate in the general education classroom despite their disabilitiy. It is critical that educators are aware of what can be provided so they know how to integrate assitive technology into the classroom. It is important for students to feel like a part of the class and now with assitive technology, students with disabilities are able to be part of the general education class as opposed to feeling isolated.
