Assistive technology in Education

Assistive technology can provide both routine and customized access to the general curricula for students with disabilities allowing them to participate in the daily functions of the classroom.
Assistive technology has the potential to augment abilities and, bypass or compensate for barriers that disabilities create (Lewis, 1994). This and following modules address the potential of assistive technologies as they relate to specific disabilities and life tasks. For children with disabilities in public school classrooms, assistive technologies are their tools to extend their physical, social and communicative abilities. They also provide the means for academic and cooperative inclusion.
