Assistive Technology

We are all different in our own way. We have different hair color, skin color,talk differently, walk differently, act differently etc. That is what makes us unique. Everyone has something unique to share. Everyone has something to offer that will change our world and the world around us. In our life time, we will use some type of assistance. I believe without assistive technology many of us would miss out on the experience of gaining knowledge, and the opportunity to communicate in this world by sharing what we have to offer. Assistive technology devices makes it easier for one to function in a setting where the accessiblity maybe difficult. Watching my mother with Multiple Sclerosis lose her mobility, would have been much more difficult for me if I wouldn't have had the different devices to make her opportunities exist. I believe creating a classroom environment with the many different assistive technology devices will foster the learning styles of a diverse classroom. It gives everyone the opportunity to participate, and take part in the learning environment, so no child is left behind. Here is a good website for families that was shared with me. I hope it can benefit someone that has questions that are related to this post. http://www.pluk.org/AT1.html
