High-Tech tools are expensive, may require training, have advanced features, and can perform multiple tasks. ]]> 2019-06-07 20:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/366427166 bldrew7 https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/366430558 Some differences between both low and high tech are that low tech tools are inexpensive, easily accessible, and do not have any electronic components, whereas high tech tools are items that are based on sophisticated technology. Some examples of low tech tools include pencil grips, slant boards, tactile letters, sticky notes, gadgets, and gizmos. High tech devices or tools consist of laptops, iPads, mobile devices, and apps that are geared toward a specific skill or learning. ]]> 2019-06-07 20:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/366430558 mariah_a_menendez https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/366455724 Low-tech tools are easily accessible and economic tools that don't require much work to implement into the child's routine or learning space. On the other hand, high-tech tools are not as easy to get access to. They can often be more expensive and have increased functionality. They can often execute more tasks compared to their simple low-tech counterparts. ]]> 2019-06-08 02:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/366455724 Lfarr0316 https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/366462098 Low tech does not require a power source.  Sometimes this can be the easiest and most practical of solutions in assistive technology.  Examples of low tech are a pencil grip for children with grasp issues, a cane to assist with walking, or a reacher to assist and individual with picking up items off the floors.

Users of high technology are typically individuals with significant functional impairments.  This can include but is not limited to people who had a spinal cord injury, Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS), or muscular dystrophy.  Examples of high tech devices are:
 ~Communication devices with alternative access methods such as eye gaze
~Environmental control units that allow for home automation, with alternative access, that can control multiple devices in the user’s environment
~Computer workstations with alternative software and hardware for access, such as a head mouse  or dwell click software
These devices can assist a person with the most minimal of movement to independently communicate, control their computer. Lauren Farr]]> 2019-06-08 05:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/366462098 cjplitt https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/366604704 low tech devices are often inexpensive,  and often are most beneficial when aiding in physical impairments.
High tech devices are often expensive, require some training, and are what others consider when they hear the word technology such as a laptop computer. ]]> 2019-06-09 23:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/366604704 ruthannbyerly https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/367043706 Low-tech tools are often those that can be found within in the classroom or could be borrowed from a colleague. They are typically inexpensive and easy to replace. Low-tech devices are simpler tools that make accessing the curriculum easier.
High-tech tools include more expensive, more difficult to replace items such as iPads and computers. These tools can be used for a variety of tasks, whereas low-tech tools tend to have limited functions. High-tech tools are also more difficult to operate and often require some training.

Many times others around them do not even though they have these tools (grips, slant boards, alternate writing materials, etc). High-tech tools are expensive because they involve technology and devices and help the student be able to communicate or access thee curriculum, usually by modifying it. ]]> 2019-06-12 20:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/367266708 dlmpierre https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/367477240 There are a few differences between low-tech and high-tech devices.  For example, low-tech devices are generally inexpensive, compared to high-tech devices.  As teachers, we can provide low-tech devices in our classroom that are low cost, such as pencil grips, or clipboards to help improve a student’s control of either a pencil or holding a paper.  High-tech devices are considerably more expensive. They include computers, laptops, tablets, etc. These devices all require computer software applications, such as writing, reading, and learning software systems, which can also cost additional funds.  ]]> 2019-06-13 19:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/367477240 victorianwinter https://padlet.com/sanchez_yvonne93/75myum1lzjgf/wish/367812021 Low technology assistive technology is most common form assistive technology. most of these are present in most classrooms like highlighters, sensory input, pencil grip, graphic organizer, visual schedules.
