In this lesson, we will match different types of disabilities with the corresponding assistive technologies that help individuals overcome specific barriers.
Matching Disabilities to Assistive Technology
Let's start by looking at learning disabilities. Students with these challenges often benefit from hearing text read aloud while they follow along visually.
| Disability | Assistive Technology |
|---|---|
| 1. learning disabilities | G. device that speaks out loud |
Next for mobility difficulties, specifically physical movement, wheelchairs and walkers are the primary assistive devices used for mobility support.
Some individuals have disabilities in accessing IT and technology. This is often addressed through a combination of specialized hardware, software, and peripheral devices.
Now let's look at limited hand function. Standard keyboards can be difficult, so a keyboard with large keys makes typing much easier and more accurate.
| Disability | Assistive Technology |
|---|---|
| 4. limited hand function | D. keyboard with large keys |
