IDEA's 13 Categories of Disability and Assistive Technology and…

- - - - LOW TECH
    - - MID TECH
    - - HIGH TECH
- - - - Cue Cards allow students to organise information before giving an answer
      - Highlighter strips and highlighter pens allow students to focus by blocking out written clutter as well as allowing them to separate text into key 'blocks'.
      - Handouts such as sandwich charts and sense charts can be used for students to structure their thoughts and answers.
      - Graphic organisers can be used for students to store information and construct meaning in reading, writing, and speaking.
    - - Microswitches can be used in place of a verbal or written response
    - - Smart phones, laptops and tablets can be used as both input devices and memory aids.
      - Text-to-speech assistive tools can be used to enable the reading of computer display information.
        Example of software
      - Robot Assisted Instruction (RAI)
        can be used for symbol recognition and task sequencing.
      - Specialised keyboards
        with large print and high contrast keys can make it easier to see and type
      - Noise reduction headphones
        to minimise outside distractions
