Create an assistive technology to address a student's need. en-us 2021-09-07 23:20:54 UTC 2025-11-06 07:39:29 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1747097207 Click on the plus sign on the bottom right side of the screen.

When thinking of ways a teacher may be able to help their students who struggle with fidgeting in their seats, I came up with the idea of tying a pool noodle to the desk. Using string or twine, a teacher can tighten a pool noodle to the front legs of the desk. The noodle can either tied to be on the ground or suspended above the ground. This can allow the student to bounce their legs or feet during class which can allow them to feel stimulated/ relaxed. The pool noodle is also a good idea because it make no noise, meaning other students in the classroom wont be distracted by the student bouncing/tapping their leg. ]]> 2021-09-20 02:52:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1752764443 https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772500427 2021-09-27 21:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772500427 https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772500776 2021-09-27 21:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772500776 https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772501042 2021-09-27 21:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772501042 https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772501321 2021-09-27 21:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772501321 https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772501588 2021-09-27 21:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772501588 https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772501841 2021-09-27 21:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772501841 https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772502042 2021-09-27 21:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/1772502042 https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/2122362426 I have seen in classrooms (from field experiences or while substituting) store-bought easy reading strips that are used in guiding students as they read (to help them read one sentence/line at a time without getting overwhelmed or distracted by other words or sentences). Instead of purchasing one, I made one myself. I used pink cardstock paper, cut a strip out in the middle, and then covered it in packaging tape (so that it will last longer). This would be considered a low-tech item. ]]> 2022-03-30 22:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/2122362426 https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/2133225267 This is an example of a low-tech AT that can be easily made on your own. It is a DIY slant board that involves a piece of paper attached to a binder. In my example, I used tape but other materials could be used in its place. This is a great AT for students who are struggling with motor skills or visual impairments. ]]> 2022-04-06 18:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiceli52948/jsrwfaq2aa3583xy/wish/2133225267
