Assistive Technology Brochure assignment

To promote access to one’s environment educationally and socially, some students require the use of assistive devices. The student will design a brochure that will demonstrate knowledge of the definition of an assistive technology device. The brochure will demonstrate a piece of assistive technology that may be used for each special education disability category. The following required items will be included as part of your brochure: (a) picture of device; (b) description of device w/purpose; (c) type of disability or disabilities for which it is designed to be used. Further instruction will be given in class along with a review of the rubric that will be used in scoring the brochure.

13 disbilities

1. Specific learning disability (SLD):

2. Other health impairment

3. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) although autism has been a separate category under the individuals with disabilities education act (IDEA) since 1990, it and other similar disorders are now typically collected under a broader term.

4. Emotional disturbance

5. Speech or language impairment

6. Visual impairment, including blindness

7. Deafness

8. Hearing impairment

9. Deaf-blindness: Blindness or deafness can have a substantial impact on a person’s ability to function independently. For those who are both deaf and blind, the impact can be even more profound than simply adding the effects of each disability. Because the primary avenues for receiving information sight and sound are limited, those who are deaf-blind are at risk for having extensive problems in communicating and in navigating their environments.

10. Orthopedic impairment

11. Intellectual disability: although AAIDD does not advocate such a classification scheme, most school systems classify student with intellectual disabilities according to the severity of their condition
