Writing supportsIf your child has trouble with writing, try using plastic pencil grips or a computer. Basic word processing programs come with features that can help with spelling and grammar issues. For students whose thoughts race ahead of their ability to write them down, different kinds of software can help. With word prediction software, your child types the first few letters and then the software gives word choices that begin with that letter. Speech recognition software allows your child to speak and have the text appear on the screen. These kinds of software are built-in features on many smartphones and tablet computers .

FM listening systemsFrequency modulation (FM) systems can reduce background noise in the classroom and amplify what the teacher says. This can help with auditory processing issues as well as attention issues. The teacher wears a microphone that broadcasts either to speakers around the room or to a personal receiver worn by the student. FM systems are also used to help kids with hearing impairment, autism spectrum disorder and language-processing issues.

TimersFrom wristwatches to hourglass timers, these inexpensive devices help kids who have trouble with pacing. Timers can be used as visual aids to show how much time is left to complete an activity. If kids have difficulty transitioning from task to task, timers can help them mentally prepare to make the switch.

 Audio players and recordersIt may help your child to be able to listen to the words while reading them on the page. Many e-books have audio files, and smartphones and tablet computers come with text-to-speech software that can read aloud anything on your child’s screen. If kids struggle with writing or taking notes, an audio recorder can capture what the teacher says in class so they can listen to it again at home.

Multiple Disabilities (Low Incidence/Affects 2% of students in Special Education)

# data[].attributes.body
A student has multiple disabilities that are severely affecting their learning. In so much that, the student is unable to learn unless all disabilities are specifically addressed. These can be psychological or physical. As such, special education services must accommodate all disabilities and not solely a single disability. Deaf Blindness is excluded from this category.

The technologies range depending on the specific weaknesses of the student. Examples include
-Computed assisted instruction
Students can receive feedback immediately. The student can also go back and learn at their pace.
-Text to speech
Students who struggle with reading or comprehension can listen to audio and increase their chances of understanding.
-Speech to text
Students can say aloud their ideas to generate assignments. For some students, this is easier than try to conceptually think of their idea then write it on paper.
-Graphic organizers
Students can organize what they need to do. This is also an essential tool to help assist students succeed throughout their life.
-Calculators
Students may struggle with conceptual understanding. Calculator use is a practical skill that will help students throughout their life.
-Audiobooks
Students may not be able to read or comprehend a reading. Audiobooks can make the material more accessible.

- Use Interpreter that can convert speech to text such as :
C Print , Type Well , Communication Access Realtime translation
- Constant teacher repetition
- Pre-teach concepts

# data[].attributes.body
- Use of lots of visuals and regalia
- Note taking ( depending on the class you teach have a budy - budy peer system where the other students can share and compare notes incase of any gaps or in a position where available get a professional note taker )
- Captioned Media  ( Use lots of videos that have captions already to explain and have the students able to access this media)

- Arrange the classroom in a way that they can always hear the teacher

# data[].attributes.body
- These can include :
1. Frequency Modulation / Digital Modulation . -  The usage of these technologies helps the learner hear better by transmitting audio signals straight into their individual hearing devices  ( video reference : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QbRLAr1VFM )
2. Infrared - Infrared works almost the same as Frequency and Digital Modulation but applies to a small number of students  . The signals are received by those in the receiving radius
3. Induction loops - This particular technology aids in creating an electromagnetic field which then allows the individuals who are wearing hearing aids or other hearing devices to have focused sound .

Maintaining a same daily routine is important. They may not do well with surprises.

# data[].attributes.body
Many unexpected things can be distracting to students with autism. Fluorescent lights, smells, and noises from other students can make it difficult for students with autism to concentrate. Using cool, calm colors in the classroom can help create a more relaxing atmosphere. Avoid covering the walls with too many posters or other things to look at. Some students may even benefit from their own center, where they can spend time away from any possible distractions.

Even individuals with autism who can read benefit from visuals. Visuals can serve as reminders about classroom rules, where certain things go, and resources that are available to students. Using pictures and modeling will mean more to students with autism than a lengthy explanation.
