As I have discussed in previous posts assistive technology can be low-tech items such as a pencil grip or high-tech items such as an iPad. I would like to learn more about what specific types of AT are out there and how they can be used to benefit students. In order to do so I am going to begin to research these items.
The first type of AT I would like to discuss is books on CDs. This assistive technology is great for students with cognitive disabilities who are unable to read or students who have difficulty reading. Hearing the text read aloud, students can follow along and feel successful in understanding the story. Books on CDs are a type of assistive technology that I use in my early childhood classroom. I am fortunate that the curriculum we use provides many of the books on CDs. I have also found throughout the years that Scholastic Book Club has many favorite stories on CDs.
