Going through
the modules at Assistive Technology Internet Module, I learned a lot of valuable information
regarding AT.
Through the AT
Assessment Process in the School Environment Module, one fabulous resource I
found was TechMatrix. It is an easy to use website where you can
search for research or various products that have been critiqued and reviewed
according to strict parameters. You can
even research based on a specific IDEA Disability Category (i.e.: autism,
specific learning disability, etc.).
When exploring
the Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology website, via the AT Consideration in the IEP
process module, I stumbled across this ATIAiPad wiki gold mine, “App Database”. Check it out!
This document,
also via QIAT’s website, has app resources and reviews from Pre-School apps, to
AAC apps, including Executive Functioning apps and Writing apps.
As I was navigating the AT and ASR module, I discovered
some good questions for educators and parents to ask, when deciding on Speech
Recognition software: Does the student like to use the computer?, Is typing
unsuccessful? Even with word prediction software and/or onscreen keyboards?,
What else have you tried?, Can they recognize words on the screen/on paper and
know that they are mistakes?
