Assistive Technology in the Classroom

Below are two short videos that show how one technology application helps two students with completely different disablilities have a positive interatction with reading. Because of this technology both students are able to access their education independently; without the technology support both would have to rely on other people to help them.

This technology application provides audio access to books and electronic documents to students with learning disabilities, reading disabilities, and vision imparements. This technology would be extremely beneficial in the classroom, it would provide access to students with specific disabilities without relying on additional resources which can be scarce sometimes. It could also be used to provide all students with a variety of learning options, this would be a benefit to students who are naturally audio learners.
