Assistive Technology   Hello Readers! I wanted to emphasize on this video of how Assistive Technology can help so many students with disabilities. There are so many barriers that certain students face and with Assistive Technology, this helps students overcome the fear they have of learning. It is important for our students to feel safe in the learning environment that we provide for them and also show them how much fun learning can be. Students also feel accomplished and get to feel that rewarding feeling they deserve. Let's continue to introduce our students to the various ways of learning!
