Definition of A.T.
Assistive technology means 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.
-- (Federal Register, August 19, 1991, p. 41272)

Low Tech Tools
Can be anything from .39¢ pencil grips to under about $100 of technology
Easy way to think about it is that low tech is what we could go to Office Depot or Wal-Mart and buy
![Page 10: The Assistive Technology Continuum Cindy Leannah Marian Page Elisa Wern February 23, 2009](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dfe5503460f94ae5e70/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pencil Grips Support poor writing due to a
lack of fine motor control and consistent pressure.
Helps to support hand and finger fatigue.
Try different styles with students to support improved grasp.
Most types are available from your OT or at The Learning Path
![Page 11: The Assistive Technology Continuum Cindy Leannah Marian Page Elisa Wern February 23, 2009](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dfe5503460f94ae5e70/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Raised Lined Paper
This unique paper actually has raised green lines! The raised line assists children by providing a physical bump to help “feel” where to stop.
This bright white paper 8 1/2 x 11” printed with green lines, comes in 2 widths. Wide rule, with a dashed line or narrow ruled

Page Ups
Used for positioning of items while
•Reading
•Copying
•Completing work

Post-It Note Collection
Use Post-Its to mark where to start and stop reading.
Use Post-Its to mark the Table of Contents, Index, and other reference points for quick access.
Use to locate a given chapter and assignments for easy location access.
![Page 14: The Assistive Technology Continuum Cindy Leannah Marian Page Elisa Wern February 23, 2009](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dfe5503460f94ae5e70/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Erasable Highlighters
Highlight key ideas and erase with ease.
Make note of unfamiliar words.
Supports “over highlighting” tendencies.

Highlighter Tape Removable & reusable
Easy to write on
Use a coding system Pink: important vocabulary. Blue: chapter questions. Yellow: dates Orange: facts/picture/maps Green: names to know. Words that they do not know, to
look up.

Let’s take this to real life…
![Page 64: The Assistive Technology Continuum Cindy Leannah Marian Page Elisa Wern February 23, 2009](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dfe5503460f94ae5e70/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Scenario #1
You are working with a student who has a lot of trouble getting words on paper. You talk with her, and she is able to express her thoughts pretty effectively.
What are some things you might try?
![Page 65: The Assistive Technology Continuum Cindy Leannah Marian Page Elisa Wern February 23, 2009](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dfe5503460f94ae5e70/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Scenario #2
You have a student who is fully included receiving services as a student with an significant intellectual disability. She has a lot of difficulty doing her work independently, and writing and math are hard curriculum areas for her to participate in…Her teachers are interested in things to try, especially on the computer.
What are some things you could try?
![Page 66: The Assistive Technology Continuum Cindy Leannah Marian Page Elisa Wern February 23, 2009](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dfe5503460f94ae5e70/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Scenario #3
You are asked to consult with a student who is twice exceptional – both Gifted and SLD. He can’t seem to follow directions to get his homework done at night, and it takes his 20 minutes or more to find things in his desk or backpack.
What are some things you might suggest?
![Page 67: The Assistive Technology Continuum Cindy Leannah Marian Page Elisa Wern February 23, 2009](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dfe5503460f94ae5e70/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Scenario #4
You have been working with a student who doesn’t have much verbal communication. The teacher has asked for help in setting up some easy ways for her to participate – answering questions, asking for help, etc…
What can you suggest they might try?
