What is Assistive Technology?
Assistive technology is a collection of hardware or software designed to compensate
for disability or impairment.
Why is it Important?
Assistive technology offers students with disabilities independence in reading, writing
and performance. Such independence can increase the student’s work rate, help them
achieve better performance, and assist in reinforcing a more positive self-esteem.
Assistive technology allows students with disabilities the same level of access to computing technology in support of instruction in the classroom.
