Summary:
This article discusses the use of assistive technology in
the classroom. There are various forms of technology that can assist students
who struggle in various areas. These struggles could be due to learning
disabilities, speech disabilities, or literacy disabilities. Students may also
struggle if taught in a style that they don’t tend to learn successfully from.
Technology is used for projects, classroom activities, practice drills, and
many other things. The assistive technology is available to students with
disabilities to make participation in these activities easier.
Reflection:
Each student in a classroom is very different from his/her
peers. It is vital that I work hand-in-hand with parents to assess areas where
struggle is present. Perhaps, a change in teaching style will do the trick.
However, if there is a learning disability that hinders the student’s academic
success than I will be responsible for providing that child with the means
necessary to achieve his/her academic goals. Assistive technology is a great
tool to use in helping students overcome difficulties in learning.
Entry: (10th
grade ELAR)
It is my desire to provide your child with the necessary
tools to be academically successful. Our school provides many various forms of
assistive technology devices that can be extremely beneficial to a child
struggling with a learning disability. These tools are designed to help
participation in classroom activities become easier for the child. These tools
do not hinder learning. In fact, assistive technology promotes learning. The child
is no longer feeling frustrated in himself/herself and is able to successfully participate
in all activities the other students in the class will also be participating
in.
