The Impact of Assistive Technologies on the Reading Outcomes of College Students with Disabilities Gotesman Edith PhD Goldfus Carol PhD Levinsky College of Education

The investigation is designed to validate the competency of Assistive Technology to solve the problem of students at risk, namely students with learning disabilities.

LD students are learning-disabled/learning- disadvantaged students experiencing one or several of the following impairments:  Dyslexia — a language disorder primarily affecting the ability to read fluently ability to read fluently  Dyscalculia — a learning disorder demonstrated by a poor aptitude with figures  Dysgraphia — a language disorder that affects the ability to write to write

Dyslexia refers to a "difficulty in learning to read in a person who has good intelligence, strong motivation, and who has received appropriate teaching". Sally Shaywitz (2003)

Assistive technology - AT – is defined as: “ any technology that enables an individual with a learning disability to compensate for specific deficits. ” (Raskind and Higgins,1998) (Raskind and Higgins,1998)

“ The use of technology has been shown to be effective in a wide range of content areas. ” (Ashton, 2005; Edyburn, 2004; Okolo, Cavalier, Ferretti, & MacArthur, 2000).
