Interpretation of the
Article |
|
Topic Weaknesses and
hopes of Assistive Technology |
What is the author's main point? The author’s main point is that there
are many technologies out there for language problems, but not for math
and sciences. |
|
What does the author say? The author says that hopefully through new
technologies they can help students with math problems which will then
help with science. He says that the technologies can help the students
to become adequate in the areas that they lack rather than just excusing
their disabilities. |
What do I think? I think that students do need to receive the
technologies so that they do learn to overcome their disability, and I
will continue to research to see if there are more assistive
technologies out for math than the author knows of. |

becoming very important and popular to provide those with disabilities,
with assistive technologies. |
|

individuals with disabilities should have access to technologies like
computer software in order to function in everyday life like everyone
else. |

benefits of assistive technologies. |
What is the author's main point? Assistive technologies are crucial to
students with learning disabilities and can help in all ares of study. |
|
What does the author say? The author gives background information, a
variety of assistive technologies, laws that were passed involving
assistive technologies and the crucial reasons why they should be
offered and included in the classroom for students with disabilities. |
What do I think? I think that this article will be extremely helpful,
in that it is very persuasive that assistive technologies are very
necessary for students with learning disabilities. It also provides
very strong statements about what children with learning disabilities
can gain from assitive technologies. This document is loaded with great
information. |
