Assistive Technology and Differentiated Instruction Project by Anna Jackson https://padlet.com/ajackso8/50kw7rvvmxyb62av A project dedicated to the implementation of assistive technology and differentiated instruction in the classroom. en-us 2022-10-05 02:04:51 UTC 2026-01-28 09:40:16 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f5a5.png The Definition of Assistive Technology (AT) ajackso8 https://padlet.com/ajackso8/50kw7rvvmxyb62av/wish/2326620995 Assistive Technology is a useful tool to assist individuals with disabilities. The use of programs, websites, and software provide ways for individuals with disabilities to learn as well as understand multiple subjects in school. This technology also provides assessable tools to help individuals with disabilities with world experiences or situations that might be difficult to handle. (Lee, 2022)]]> 2022-10-05 00:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ajackso8/50kw7rvvmxyb62av/wish/2326620995 Examples of Assistive Technology (AT) ajackso8 https://padlet.com/ajackso8/50kw7rvvmxyb62av/wish/2326621559 Assistive Technology is previously defined to be useable tools such as programs, websites, and software for individuals with disabilities. Assistive technology can also be split between two different techs, which are low and high tech. Some examples of high-tech assistive technology are hearing aids, screen readers, and text-to-speech. Some examples of low-tech assistive technology are walking canes, fidget tools, and adapted pencils.

The use of AT can give students with disabilities tools to use to grasp the different education concepts needed for their development. This technology also is unique to each child with a disability providing the tools needed for them to be their best learning self.

The change of certain activities by the teacher provides an opportunity to get the instruction across to the child that might be confused. This can be done by changing the materials used, the change in the academic environment, or scrapping the unsure lesson plan to benefit the different needs of students.

A second example is placing students in pairs to come up with ideas if one student struggles to come up with ideas on their own. A third example is adding more time for students to complete activities or assignments.

It requires teachers to think outside of the box to provide the needed instruction children need to understand to increase their development. As well as welcome the classroom to diverse learners such as children with disabilities or dual language learners by adapting to what each child needs to be successful.  (Differentiated Instruction, 2022) ]]> 2022-10-05 00:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ajackso8/50kw7rvvmxyb62av/wish/2326624127 References ajackso8 https://padlet.com/ajackso8/50kw7rvvmxyb62av/wish/2326624512
