Assistive Technology Resources

Assistive Technology has increasing importance in today’s schools and the ITC is addressing this issue with the Learning Disabilities, Assistive Technology and Independence in the General Education Setting Project. The primary goal of this project is to increase teacher awareness of the ways in which technology can be utilized in the general education setting to facilitate student learning, increase student independence and more fully include students with learning disabilities. The goals and objectives of this project include development of an Assistive Technology demonstration lab, classroom presentations focusing on facilitation and utilization of AT, and integration of AT into the pre-service and in-service teacher education program.
