Rationale

It is worth noting that April has a language impairment, performs below the mean for her

struggle with reading and written expression. Therefore the instructional choices specifically meet April’s needs because through choice, she is able to self-differentiate her learning. Her needs are also met because the instructional choices combat apathy, helping her connect with her strengths and interests. It also gives her more autonomy, power, and control over her work, which boosts her intrinsic motivation (Iacono, 2019). She is for instance able to identify words with multiple meanings. She is also able to choose a topic and support it with ideas. Through writing, she is able to convey her understanding of the topic thus improving her expression.

Given that April has a language impairment, has difficulty with reading comprehension, semantics, and morphological processing, and struggles with word choice, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems assistive technology (AT) comes handy. According to Elsahar et al., (2019), the visual and hearing aids as part of the AT supplement both her speech and writing skills. They enable her produce and comprehend spoken and written language. They also enable her to understand word parts, vocabulary, and multiple meanings of words. The visualization of words using visual aids helps her visualize words and give her frames to practice with both spoken and written language. It should be noted that the choice- making interventions using AACAT promotes engagement by providing the opportunity for April to make her own decisions regarding assignment choices that help her improve her expressive language.
