Assistive Technology
Assistive technology makes life easier!
Students with learning difficulties, specific learning disabilities or physical disabilities such as vision or hearing deficits can benefit from specialised assistive technology.
There are a variety of gadgets, programs and equipment that can make life a whole lot easier!
Many of my clients have found that a variety of assistive technology can help them with their academic work.
You might not be the world’s best speller and you won’t always have access to a dictionary or a computer, so you might like to try a hand held spell checker. It is about the size of a calculator and fits nicely into a pencil case or hand bag.
There are numerous programs that help you with grammar and writing skills that you can use on your computer. Other programs such as WYNN (What You Need Now!) or JAWS will read documents to you! Makes reading and correcting your work easier!
