Assistive technology is designed to help students who have learning disabilities. Whether students have physical impairments, dyslexia or cognitive problems, assistive technology can help them to function within the classroom.
These tools include any type of equipment or device that helps students to compensate for their learning disabilities.
While they are unable to eliminate learning problems entirely, they can help students to capitalize on their strengths and minimize their weaknesses.
