Using+Technology+to+Support+All+Learners-JG

Assitive Technologies are important because they make everything in your classroom accessible to all students. A few examples of Assistive technology would be pencil grips, paper holders and manipulatives. A few more higher tech options would be screen readers, calculators and speech to text software. A good example might be having a student with CP (cerebral palsy) in your classroom. Speech recognition software would be absolutely invaluable to this particular student in the classroom. Because of the muscle deficiency, the student may not be able to hold a pencil or pen. This technology would allow them to keep up with other students and keep the playing field leveled.
