Assistive technology is a great thing for students with special needs. As a previous post commented, it is empowering for them. The fact that there are tools that can be used to help students who are struggling in education is a great confidence builder and motivator. A little boy in the video stated that he likes using his Alpha Smart computer because he no longer has to leave the classroom to complete assignments. He can stay with his friends and is not singled out as the student who has to be removed because he can’t do what the rest of the class is doing. Assistive technology is truly an amazing thing!
