Assistive Technology in Education Some assistive technology is
specifically designed to support people with disabilities or
impairments in their everyday tasks and needs ie communication.
The application of much of this equipment will overlap into
other areas of daily living such as education or workplace and,
as a result, it is also described in other information topics on
this website. In education, assistive technology is usually used
to support independent learning and to increase the
accessibility of materials. Some examples of assistive
technology include voice recognition systems, voice synthesis,
large print display, Braille embossing, and alternative computer
input devices (track-balls, switches, etc), radio aids, tape
recorders.
