Instructional Technology vs Assistive Technology

IN RECENT YEARS THE AVAILABILITY OF TECHNOLOGICAL DEVICES THAT ENABLE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES TO HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER THEIR DAILY LIVES HAS DRAMATICALLY INCREASED.

WHAT IS ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY? AT is “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 a child with a disability” - 20 USC 1401(1) AT can be anything from a simple device, such as a magnifying glass, to a complex device, such as a computerized communication system.

INCREASE OF ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY Thousands of products are commercially available Unprecedented growth in high technology devices Renewed appreciation of “no” or “low” technology aids Significant refinements in procedures to assess individuals for technology needs Requirement for consideration of assistive technology on every IEP

7 FUNCTIONAL AREAS ENHANCED THROUGH ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY 1.Daily Living 2.Communication 3.Body Support, Protection, and Positioning 4.Travel and Mobility 5.Environmental Interaction 6.Education and Transition 7.Sports, Fitness, Recreation

CONTINUUM OF ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY No Technology Low Technology Very confusing category, use of ordinary object for another purpose. Pencil wedged in a door to hold it open. Foam glued on the corner of book pages to make turning easier. Any device that is not electronic. Designed for use as assistive technology. Examples are: study carrel to reduce distractions, cane to help with mobility.

CONTINUUM OF ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY Medium Technology High Technology Electronic devices but do not include highly sophisticated computer components. Talking watch, voice recorder. Devices utilizing complex multifunction technology and usually include a computer and associated software. Availability is dramatically increasing.

Assistive Technology Universal Design Design for all. Design for one.
