What is Assistive Technology? Assistive Technology Devices are identified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004 as: Any item, piece of equipment or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of children with disabilities. (IDEA 20, USC, Chapter 33, Section 1401 (25) US) handheld magnifiers large print text using paper and pen to communicate canes and walkers reachers/grabbers specialized pen or pencil grips and much more

Low Tech Assistive Technology Visual support strategies which do not involve any type of electronic or battery operated device Typically low cost and easy to use equipment Examples for:  writing, motor skills, sensory, reading/vision, reading/dyslexia handheld magnifiers large print text using paper and pen to communicate canes and walkers reachers/grabbers specialized pen or pencil grips  dry erase boards clipboards  3-ring binders  file folders  photo albums  laminated pcs/photographs  highlight tape graphic organizer Visual schedules Slant board Post-its Sensory ball or sensory input (fidgets) Tactile ruler Velcro Page protector or colored transparency Page turners-binder clips, clothes pins, popsicle sticks Manipulatives Jumbo anything (text, paper, materials, etc.)

Mid Tech Assistive Technology Battery operated devices or "simple" electronic devices requiring limited advancements in technology. Examples: audio recording website or app, timers, calculators, and simple voice output devices talking spell checkers manual wheelchairs electronic organizers Closed Caption Televisions (CCTV's) amplifiers books on CD environmental control units (ECU) alternate mouse or keyboard for the computer and much more Louisiana Assistive Technology Initiative

High Tech Assistive Technology Complex technological support strategies Typically "high" cost equipment Examples:  iPad, video camera, computers and adaptive hardware, complex voice output devices  power wheelchairs and scooters digital hearing aids digital hands-free headsets voice activated telephones communication devices with voices bluetooth integration digi-drive technology (operating a vehicle with a joystick) Natural Reader computers with specialized software such as voice recognition or magnification software-www.naturalreaders.com-web based download Dynamic Keyboard http://www.canassist.ca/EN/main/programs/free-downloads/dynamic-keyboard.html?sredir=1  electronic aids to daily living-Proloquo2Go App-show video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJlgPy5S0VI  Louisiana Assistive Technology Initiative
