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.

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

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. sherrywen77 https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884142047 2021-11-11 13:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884142047 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. sherrywen77 https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884146712 2021-11-11 13:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884146712 Reading guidesReading guides are good tools for kids who have trouble with visual tracking or who need help staying focused on the page. The plastic strip highlights one line of text while blocking out surrounding words that might be distracting. The strip is also easy to move down the page as your child reads. sherrywen77 https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884148993 2021-11-11 13:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884148993 Seat cushionsAn inflatable seat cushion can help kids with sensory processing and attention issues. The cushion can provide enough movement and stimulation to help a child maximize focus without having to get up and walk around. sherrywen77 https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884151195 2021-11-11 13:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884151195 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. sherrywen77 https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884153486 2021-11-11 13:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884153486 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 . sherrywen77 https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884156873 2021-11-11 13:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884156873 Graphic organizersGraphic organizers can be low-tech. There are many different designs you can print out that can help your child organize thoughts for a writing assignment. There are also more sophisticated tools such as organizing programs that can help kids map out their thoughts. Talk to your child’s school about finding the right assistive technology for your child. sherrywen77 https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884159402 2021-11-11 13:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884159402 Emotional Disturbance-High Incidence sherrywen77 https://padlet.com/nishagrimes/assistivetechnologiesforID/wish/1884175599 Emotional disturbances often comes along with academic, behavioral and social problems.
