Assistive technologies are products and services that make it easier to work, learn and live independently. Even students without disabilities use assistive technologies such as eyeglasses, pencil grips, remote key entries and word processing spellcheckers. However, assistive technology can bring independence and a world of career possibilities to students with disabilities. Here’s how:
Often, assistive technologies are thought of as either "high-tech" or "low-tech."
High-tech devices are often computer-related and include talking clocks and calculators, speech synthesizers and specialized software.
Low-tech devices are usually mechanical or fabricated tools from catalogues or hardware stores such as large knobs, reaching devices, picture boards or recorded instructions.
