Assistive Technology and Inclusion - 0 views

  • 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.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • 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).
  •  
    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.
