- - - - Although these materials would be considered low-tech teaching resources, they serve to both motivate the student and facilitate generalization to multiple environments.
      - An example would be manipulative or concrete objects for a math lesson.
    - - For literacy a software utilizing universal design for learning principles is useful. This approach combines reading for meaning with direct instruction for decoding and understanding. The software would consist of an audio and video based curriculum that can be adjusted by the teacher to meet the specific capacities of the student.
      - Text to speech software, which is designed to help students who have difficulty reading standard print.
- - - - Hearing loops, copper wire placed within a room, theater, or counter which is connected via a special loop “driver” to a public address or sound system. An electromagnetic field is created that connects to a telecoil in hearing aids, cochlear implants, or telecoil receivers.
      - Infrared Systems, work like TV remote controls. A transmitter sends speech or music from a public address or sound system to an IR receiver using invisible infrared light waves. This technology is line-of-sight and cannot be used outdoors during the daytime due to being affected by light.
      - FM systems, transmit wireless, low power FM frequency radio transmission from a sound system to FM receivers. An advantage of this system over an infrared system: FM is not affected by direct sunlight. Can hear the teachers voice at their desk while seeing their face.
      - Assistive Listening Devices are personal technologies that can help you communicate in one-to-one conversations. They are hand-held amplifiers with microphones that bring the sound you wish to hear closer to your ears. These small devices capture the sound you want to hear and may filter some background noise.
