This study, conducted by a student from St. John Fisher College, analyzed the experiences of a group of young teachers in implementing assistive technology (AT) into their classrooms. The study concluded that more professional development is needed for better AT implementation, in order to better assist the educator in ensuring...
Written expression requires students to produce text in a way that requires coordination of a range of processes, including the physical aspect of forming letters, the cognitive and linguistic act of organizing the message in a way that best represents their ideas, and an awareness of the social components of...
Millions of amputees worldwide live with the loss of a limb, especially in developing countries that don’t often have access to expensive prosthetics. The most common is hand or arm loss. Robotic prosthetics are cripplingly expensive (e.g., well over $75,000), clunky and heavy, and can take months to obtain –...
This webinar is the second of a 3-part series focusing on study skills by CTD and the PACER Center. Learning for students can be enhanced with tools that engage them with information in a multisensory manner, a combination of 2 or more senses such as visual, auditory, vestibular (movement), or...
New developments in augmented reality can seem extraordinary to anyone new to the field. Craig Smith, an autism educator and advocate based in Australia, writes about new possibilities for educators working with people with autism to provide new assistive technology opportunities to them. Some of his listed possibilities include providing...
Internet of Things (IoT), a system of connected things, is slowly but surely revolutionizing the way we live, work and play. The growth of IoT technology has had a positive impact on education, with the application of the former evolving from mere static applications to cutting-edge interactive classrooms. Here are...
When it comes to technology that really changes people’s lives, very little compares to tech that’s designed to help disabled people lead fuller, more active, more independent, or simply more dignified lives. Thanks to advances in robotics, materials engineering, artificial intelligence, and a broad range of other things, assistive tech...
Ever-changing technology has presented university leaders with new ways to innovate and boost student experiences. Data can increase student success and retention while artificial intelligence can support the personalization of learning. These trends may have popped up first at the most tech-savvy institutions, but they have since become popular across...
In an era of breakneck change and tech innovation, evaluating dyslexia in young students looks much the same today as it has in the past: A struggling reader’s parents and teachers might sit down, gather information and assess the child on their strengths and weaknesses to determine a diagnosis and...
