Assistive technologies are designed to help individuals with disabilities or impairments. There are many assistive technologies out there for the classroom. There is everything from alternative keyboards to braille embossers. An alternative keyboard is a computer keyboard that is a little different to help accommodate the student. The keyboards can have larger keys or smaller keys. They can also be fitted so that they can be used with one hand. There are also braille embossers for the students who read braille. The braille embosser turns computer generated text into braille. There are also screen enlargers or magnifiers for the students that are hard-of-seeing but do not read braille. These are not the only assistive technologies available to teachers There are so many more out there, and the possibilities are endless. Assistive technologies are great tools for the classroom. They make it possible for all students to get a quality education.
