         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Devices to Enhance Listening<br>1. FM systems: </strong>With FM systems, sound is transmitted directly from a microphone worn by a teacher or another person speaking, and transmitted via FM radio signals directly to an individual at a constant volume, regardless of the a person's distance from the FM microphone.<br><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Infrared and Audio Induction Loop systems: </strong>these assistive technologies may also be used for listening in large spaces, including schools. An Infrared system uses invisible light beams to carry sound to a personal receiver.<br><strong>3. Coupling accessories (for connectivity to media devices such as computers, TVs, tablets, smartphones, etc.): </strong>There are many accessories for hearing aids or cochlear implants that can connect to media devices. There are cables that plug directly from a hearing aid or cochlear implant into tablet devices or phones, or couplers which transmit sound wirelessly from hearing aids to media devices.<br>4.&nbsp; <strong>Captioning Services for video/audio productions - close captions, speech to text software. <br>5. Streaming devices:</strong> A streamer is a small device worn around the neck on a cord.&nbsp; It connects sound wirelessly from a mobile phone, laptop, tv, mp3 player or any other device directly to the amplification device worn by the DHH student.<strong><br><br></strong><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>There are a variety of Assistive Technology tools to help children with the many challenges of ASD. They help improve communication, literacy skills, time management, social skills, sensory management, staying safe and help with daily living activities. They range from High Tech to Low Tech. <br><br><strong><mark>Communication:</mark></strong><mark> </mark>Providing a means to communicate their thoughts and needs, especially for those that are nonverbal.<br><br></div><ul><li><strong>Picture / Photo boards:</strong> Children point at pictures or photos to show what they are needing or how they are feeling. These can also include choice cards, break cards or any other picture representation to communicate the individual needs of the student.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><ul><li><strong>Speech Generating Apps:</strong> this is not intended to substitute human voice, but also to help build speech and language skills. <a href="https://www.elemy.com/studio/autism-treatment/assistive-technologies/#The_Top_5_Apps_for_Assistive_Technologies_for_Autism">This link </a>breaks down five of the best apps used for assistive technology for autism.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br><strong><mark>&nbsp;Learning and Executive Functioning / Sensory</mark></strong><strong>: </strong>Sensory and executive functioning difficulties make daily activities and functions challenging. These AT tools can help with these issues not just in the classroom, but at home too.&nbsp;<br><br></div><ul><li><strong>Simple Handling tools:</strong> Stress balls, worry beads and calming bottles are simple tools to help reduce anxiety and increase focus.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><ul><li><strong>Color coded schedules / Visual Reminders:</strong> These are low-tech visual aides that make a positive difference in helping students focus on their routine.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><ul><li><strong>Watches with Alarms / Visual Timers:</strong> A bit more mid-tech, visual reminders such as alarm watches or visual timers can assist children in developing time management skills.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><ul><li><strong>Noise blocking headphones:</strong> Helps reduce anxiety and increase focus by blocking out over stimulating noises that may cause stress to the student. Noise blocking headphones are also a helpful tool with audiobooks or videos, especially in that many autistic students are visual learners.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><ul><li><strong>Speech to text software:</strong> Specifically created for students with learning disabilities.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br><strong><mark>Social Skills:</mark></strong> Social interaction is a common struggle for most students diagnosed with ASD. These technologies help with these issues.&nbsp;<br><br></div><ul><li><strong>Social Stories:</strong> Short, simple, visual stories that help students with ASD to think and behave appropriately in a variety of social settings. For example a visit to the doctor or going to the grocery store.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><ul><li><strong>Social Skills Cards and Games: </strong>Many social interactive games such as "Snakes and Ladders", "Uno" or dice games are intended to reinforce social communication skills.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><ul><li><strong>Videos and Video Modelling: </strong>Videos are intended to help students focus on social emotional concepts such as polite greetings, joining in on conversations, sharing or asking someone to join a game.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><ul><li><strong>Socially Assistive Robots:</strong> These robots are built to help students, as well as adults develop and build their social skills in risk-free environments.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br><strong><mark>Safety:</mark></strong> Students with ASD are often prone to being "runners" or being able to solve unlocking safety locks. For safety reasons one of the most important AT tool would be for students to have Alert Me Bands or some form of tracker the automatically connects with people of importance for that student. &nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Orthopedic impairment is "a bone-, joint-, or muscle-related disability that is so severe that it negatively affects a child's educational performance" (IDEA). There are three divisions to describe orthopedic impairment: neuromotor impairments, degenerative diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders" (Project Ideal, 2013). The most common orthopedic impairment is cerebral palsy (Project Ideal, 2013). </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A student with orthopedic impairment should be included in the general curriculum as much as possible because there is no cognitive disability. But, the accommodations will depend on the severity of the orthopedic impairment. According to Project Ideal Organization, there are various accommodations that can be considered:<br><br></div><ul><li>Special seating arrangements to develop useful posture and movements</li><li>Instruction focused on development of gross and fine motor skills</li><li>Securing suitable augmentative communication and other assistive devices</li><li>Awareness of medical condition and its affect on the student (such as getting tired quickly)</li></ul><div><br>In addition, Project Ideal Org. says the student will benefit from working with:<br><br></div><ul><li>Physical Therapists who work on gross motor skills (focusing on the legs, back, neck and torso)</li><li>Occupational Therapists who work on fine motor skills (focusing on the arms and hands as well as daily living activities such as dressing and bathing)</li><li>Speech-Language Pathologists who work with the student on problems with speech and language</li><li>Adapted Physical Education Teachers, who are specially trained PE teachers who work along with the OT and PT to develop an exercise program to help students with disabilities</li><li>Other Therapists (Massage Therapists, Music Therapists, etc.)</li></ul><div><br>&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>
