Assistive Technology, Choice Board: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rC…

- - - - Calculators- the most common assistive technology, calculators can help students with calculations, but some also have graphing functions or even notetaking functions.
      - Graph Paper- this is another low tech assistive technology that some students could benefit from. Graph paper can help students who may struggle with things like place value and cannot line up their problems so that place value is correct. It can also help with graphs or geometry. Instead of using a lined notebook for math class, students could use a notebook with graph paper. It could also be available in place of doing work in blank white space on a worksheet.
      - Manipulatives: base ten blocks are very helpful for students visualizing place value, and can become a pictorial method for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Number Lines and hundreds charts can also assist students with the operations. For students who may have issues with writing, there are digital number lines, place value blocks, and hundreds charts: https://apps.mathlearningcenter.org/number-line/

      - Graphic organizers: see the section on this for more information.
      - Software apps: there are many math software programs and apps that can assist students by providing the following: math text-speech, graphing tools, drawing tools, math notations, and virtual manipulatives. A good list of software apps, their functions, and cost, can be found using this link.: https://www.understood.org/en/articles/software-programs-for-kids-with-math-issues
      - MathTalk: this is a speech-to-text software that allows you to use your voice to do algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics, and voice graphs. It can also be used to translate mathematics into braille. This can help students with a variety of different needs, ranging from: ADHD, Dysgraphia, physical disabilities and visual impairment, and other needs.
- - - - Text-to-Speech Technology:
        Text-to-speech (TTS) is a type of assistive technology that reads digital text aloud. It’s sometimes called “read aloud” technology. TTS can take words on a computer or other digital device and convert them into audio. TTS is very helpful for kids who struggle with reading, but it can also help kids with writing and editing, and even focusing.
        
        How text-to-speech can help your child
        
        Text-to-speech apps are helpful for any condition that affects reading ability. This includes dyslexia, ADHD, but also visual impairments. Any student that is not able to focus on the text in physical form will benefit from TTS apps.
        
        And since TTS lets kids both see and hear text when reading, it creates a multisensory reading experience. Researchers have found that the combination of seeing and hearing text when reading:
        
        • Improves word recognition
        
        • Increases the ability to pay attention and remember information while reading
        
        • Allows kids to focus on comprehension instead of sounding out words
        
        • Increases kids’ staying power for reading assignments
        
        • Helps kids recognize and fix errors in their own writing
        
        Like audiobooks, TTS won’t slow down the development of your child’s reading skills.
