Assistive Technology: A Way To Differentiate Instruction for Students with Disabilities (revised 2010)

For students with disabilities, technology can make the difference between success and failure in general education environments. Assistive technology (AT) provides a means to help students compensate for their disabilities while building upon their strengths. Utilizing the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), this revised and updated DVD takes you into classrooms where AT solutions are being successfully implemented for students requiring auditory processing supports, fine-motor and writing supports, and reading supports. Viewers will observe first-hand how hardware and software programs not only assist students in being more successful academically, but how AT empowers them to be more confident and independent learners.
