    As a special educator it is our job to provide equitable accommodations for all students with disabilities. Assistive technology, ranging from low to high tech provide efficient educational experiences for students to reach their full academic potential  despite any disability. Assistive technology tools provide many opportunities for children with disabilities to learn and for the teacher to be able to provide learning opportunities for his/her students.

    Assistive Technology can make the difference between experiencing schools either successfully or a failed one. Assistive technology provides outstanding supports for students with disabilities to exceed through their school years. Assistive technology, or AT, allows students with disabilities to be a part of the general education classroom with the rest of their developing peers.

    In Chandler, Arizona the school district spent 33$ million to expand technological resources in the classroom. Unfortunately, test scores are not rising even with all of this new technological equipment. Technology and an overemphasis on digital skills is replacing the use of math, reading, and writing fundamentals. Search criteria: technology in the classroom site:nytimes.com

  • Is learning through cake fractions and knitting any better? The Waldorf advocates make it tough to compare, partly because as private schools they administer no standardized tests in elementary grades. And they would be the first to admit that their early-grade students may not score well on such tests because, they say, they don’t drill them on a standardized math and reading curriculum.
  • “Engagement is about human contact, the contact with the teacher, the contact with their peers,
  • hat’s the rush, given how easy it is to pick up those skills?

    This article is a view of a private school that does not use technology until 8th grade. Usually, business/technology leaders send their kids here to give them a rounded education, and think students can pick up technology easier later in life. Most parents report that technology can be picked up later in life, and shouldn't have a place in the elementary classroom. Search Criteria: No technology in school

      positive connotations toward personal computer platforms may be a product of marketing, as asserted in the MIT study.
  • As with other expressions of mass culture, there appears to be an established historical trend that minimizes its scientific importance
  • One of the foremost objectives of much research was the study of the ìeffectsî of video games (aggressive behavior, addiction, isolation, school performance and the like), based on previous assumptions and research on television. But after two decades, research results on video games are somewhat confusing.

  • Assistive technology (AT) devices can decrease studentsÿfd isolation and allow them to become part of regular subject area classrooms
  • a tool that provides a method for an individual who is experiencing a disability or other issue to still participate in a classroom
  • Teacher preparation programs then need to ensure that teachers are educated in special needs pedagogy and assistive technologies as they relate to general education. The educational environment needs to be designed or adapted for all students have the opportunity for success, even those students who may need modifications and accommodations.

  • The inclusion classroom is based upon teaching students with disabilities in regular classrooms, rather than in special schools, classrooms or pull-out locations.
  • with the necessary support services and supplementary aids (for the child or the teacher) both to assure the child's success - academic, behavioral, and social - and to prepare the child to participate as a full and contributing member of the society."
  • access by children with disabilities, ages five through twenty-one, to publicly funded educational opportunities and programs,
  • Assistive technology has the capacity for increasing student independence, increasing participation in classroom activities and simultaneously advancing academic standing for students with special needs, providing them the ability to have equal access to their school environment
  • Because of laws like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 1992) which require that schools educate children who have disabilities in general education classrooms whenever possible, and that assistive technology devices and services to be considered, current and upcoming teachers are in need of additional instruction concerning assistive technologies
  • The exceptional education teachers are not the only ones who need awareness of assistive technology, all teachers are now likely to encounter mainstreamed special needs students, and the purpose for using the technology ideally is to allow and support the student in the general student population.ÿfd
  • In order for the learning, language and technology gaps to be closed, teachers of special needs children need effective integration methods along with expanded access to technology equipment and resources for the specific needs of their students.  
  • Assistive technology provides an educational resource that must be considered for any student classified with a disability and must be included on that studentÿfds individual education plan (IEP).
  • Corynne Farmer on 09 Apr 13
     
    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.
