There are various elements of differentiated instruction that can help teachers make their lesson more conducive to their students style of learning.
1.) Content- What do the students need to learn from the lesson? What resources will the students have to access the necessary information?
(ex. Having the materials for a lesson based on various reading levels that will help the students improve their skills)
2.) Process- The process of students mastering the content of the lesson.
(ex. the student using the materials that help them comprehend what the lesson is abut)
3.) Product- This is this demonstration of the skills or knowledge the student acquired from the lesson.
(ex. giving the students an option of a project such as a powerpoint or a poster)
4.) Learning Environment- Creating a classroom environment and lesson where students learn best
(i.e. a quiet place for students to read or allowing a student to move around while completing their work as they struggle with sitting still for long periods of time)

Assistive Technology is important to the education of the student because it assists them in becoming the most effective learners as possible. If a student struggles with certain aspects of learning it will not only hurt their performance but may also create anxiety around the entire subject. This anxiety can create lifetime struggles.
Assistive technology is also important to the entire class as the students who require it won't need as much assistance from the teacher. This would allow the teacher to move around the classroom helping students who require it.
