For our lab today, we had to choose three different types of
assistive technology tools. The first one that I choose was the on screen keyboard. This would be helpful for students who have trouble typing on the keyboard or only have a little movement in their hands. As you can see from the picture on the left, it was the same exact keyboard as we use but on the computer so all you need to do is click what letters you want to use.
In my second
assistive technology tool, I use the magnifier. This is a tool that has half of the screen as the normal size while the other half is zoomed in. This could be used for kids who have trouble using the computer because the text size is so small. When you use the
magnifier you can choose what size you want the screen to be magnified and what sized of the screen stays the same.
In my third
assistive technology tool, I explored using sticky keys or other things that might make it easier to use the keyboard. This could be helpful for students because they can use shortcuts on the keyboard so that it is easier to do different things for the
computer. For the sticky keys you can control what they do and where they are located. This will make it a lot easier for students who have trouble using the keyboard to use the computer.
