- - - - High-Tech: Devices that produce audible messages are considered high-tech. Input can be made with a device dedicated for those with speech impairments or a device such as a computer that has other uses. Such high-tech devices are called Speech Generation Devices (SGD) or Voice Output Communication Aids (VOCA). (Schlosser et al 2003 and Beukelman and Mirenda 2005)
      - Low-Tech: Often visuals (books, boards, experiments) used by a listener to offer choices which may be selected by eye-gaze, physical gestures, pointing, depending on physical abilites. (Millar and Scott 1998 & Scott 1998)
      - Assistive Technology
- - - - People with multiple disabilities will likely need helping support through their lives. Depending on if the disabilities are considered low, mild or high will dictate the type of assistance needed.
        
        Major Life Activities that a person would need support are :
        
        caring for oneself;
        
        performing manual tasks;
        
        seeing, hearing, eating, and sleeping;
        
        walking, standing, lifting, and bending;
        
        speaking and communicating;
        
        breathing;
        
        learning;
        
        reading;

  - - - Reading difficulty: use a “read-along” technique with taped texts and materials to allow learning of printed materials.
      - Memory problems or difficulty taking notes: the student might tape the lesson; or the teacher might provide a copy of the lesson outline.
      - For students with short term memory problems (like interfere with remembering math facts): provide a table of facts or a calculator.
      - Slow handwriting: a cassette recorder or a computer with word processing software can be used
      - Spelling difficulty: use a “misspeller’s dictionary” or computerized spell checker, teacher use a multi-sensory approach that combines saying, spelling aloud, and writing words to teach
