Assistive Technologies: Tools to Help Students with Dyslexia

In this episode, we will be talking about assistive technologies and how these technologies operate and can help support students with disabilities. According to Individuals with Disabilities by Dell, Newton, & Petroff, Assistive Technology is defined as “services and devices that enable people with disabilities to accomplish daily living tasks; assist them in communication, education, work, or recreation activities; and ultimately help them achieve greater independence and enhance their quality of life.”

We are joined by a special education teacher for a candid conversation about finding and using assistive technology to help our students with Dyslexia.
