It even provides links for the devices that help. ]]> 2022-04-18 23:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147671656 sgill10297 https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147674452 This website is also great because it gives more options for different AT in the classroom when it comes to reading and literacy. I chose this website because it has reviews and prices under all of the AT and a "visit now" button to go straight to the platform of the said AT.]]> 2022-04-18 23:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147674452 sgill10297 https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147677871 This app is awesome for those in need of AT that have trouble simplifying English and are unable to read texts that are out of their level. This app would be very useful for someone who struggles with reading in general because it simplifies words, making reading easier for anyone who needs help with that. It is a free website, where you can copy and paste any writing into or type any writing into to better understand what is being said. ]]> 2022-04-18 23:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147677871 sgill10297 https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147681027 This JAWS screen reader would be used by someone who is blind or has trouble seeing. It provides text to speech and braille, while being able to search the internet for anything you need to look up, without the use of a mouse. It does cost a good amount of money, around 900-1,000 dollars.]]> 2022-04-18 23:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147681027 sgill10297 https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147702490 This is an image of a reading pen which could be used by someone who is blind of who has dyslexia, or even just a difficult time interpreting text. You scan the text and it reads whatever is on the page directly to you.]]> 2022-04-19 00:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147702490 sgill10297 https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147724585 This is a writing resource for people who have difficulty writing for different reasons.

This review is for the read&write app that gives text to speech to those who need it. This could be nice for those who want to make sure the app works well first before using it and finding the best available AT for text to speech when it comes to reading.]]> 2022-04-19 00:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147730161 sgill10297 https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147735054 This video is about Mason, a first grader, who is trying out AT and is partially blind. He uses a Mountbatten for writing activities and you can see this in action. This would be good for teachers and parents to see how this works, if they wanted to buy the same thing for themselves or their students or children who have a difficult time writing. It repeats back to you what you type and you can read it through braille as well.]]> 2022-04-19 00:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147735054 sgill10297 https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147737199 I chose to focus on the AT of literature with reading and writing and spelling. I think this side of AT has a lot to offer for those who struggles with these things or just want these devices to make their lives easier. These forms of AT help make school and every day life more inclusive for everyone so that they can learn the same content as others, just in a different way that works better for them.]]> 2022-04-19 00:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147737199 sgill10297 https://padlet.com/sgill10297/hqifu7sdwuy0i4wz/wish/2147743511 This is an image of a magnifying glass used for reading.
