Assistive technology

HCI Assistive Technology devices for Specially-abled Abstract—The Human-computer interaction (HCI) is the study of how people design, implement, and use interactive computer systems and how computers affect individuals, organizations, and society. This encompasses not only ease of use but also new interaction techniques for supporting user tasks, providing better access to information, and creating more powerful forms of communication. It involves input and output devices and the assistive

1.Name at least three items that could be considered AT and describe how those devices could support a student with a disability in the classroom.  Items that can be considered assistive technology are: Raised Lined paper- This can be used to aid in handwriting for students with deficits in fine motor skills, and helps them to remain in-between the lines. The lined paper also provides visual as well as tactile response for students. Text to speech software- Text to speech software is used

Research Paper: Effects of Educational Technology In the Classroom By: Nicole Ault Computer Science 313 October 1st, 2017 Abstract: This research paper includes several studies on the effects of children’s learning when incorporating technology into their lives. Overall, the studies mentioned can make technology be viewed as an aid or a hinder on a child’s cognitive development. For some people the advances of technology in today’s world can be viewed as a negative

Understanding the Relationship between Assistive Technology and Universal Design? To better understand the difference and relationship between assistive technology (AT) and Universal Design (UD) we must first understand their definition. Assistive technology in the digital age goes beyond eyeglasses, canes and wheelchairs. The more high-tech kind includes newer technologies that made a particularly dramatic impact on education. The following are good examples of AT designed for a specific set of

Technology has played an integral role in our everyday life. It can increase efficiency at work, improve the quality of life, and serves as a helpful tool that allows us to accomplish many tasks that we might not be able to otherwise. It has found its way into nearly everyone’s home in various forms such as: a computer, medical equipment, and security system. Some people might even go as far as claiming that they cannot live without it. When parents hear of “technology” in the classroom, they immediately

Assistive Technology Lesson Plan Effective instructional approaches are designed to look at how a student learns and how a teacher delivers the information to the student. When a teacher identifies the learning style of their students, they can effectively plan the instruction. The learning style approach to teaching requires the teacher to build lessons to include students different learning styles. A student with special needs will thrive in this teaching environment; they will be taught at their

1. Evaluate the effectiveness of using ICT to support teaching and learning. Information communication technology (ICT) helps to learn theoretic development discoveries, treatment and support techniques for education and curriculum. It gives teachers, higher level teaching assistant (HLTA) and children access to educational resources from around the globe anytime and day. While using ICT, children learn concepts, history, ideas, theories and practices across culture when it is use in their classroom

Assistive technology is technology, which is used by an individual that has a disability to allow the individual to perform roles that may otherwise be difficult or impossible to complete. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder learn differently than other children, often have struggle with spoken and written language expression. Assistive technologies are devices which help children with autism completes everyday tasks they struggle with. Many devices, any touch screens, like an IPad or IPhone in

An Exploration of Assistive Technology and Those Available for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders Introduction to Assistive Technology For many years, students and individuals with disabilities have been fortunate to benefit from federal laws that advocate for protection and equal rights for all students with disabilities as intended by the initiation of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). Furthermore, these individuals have often performed below average not only due to deficits
