Assistive Technology
Assistive technology (AT) is any item, piece of equipment, software program, or product system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of persons with disabilities.
Software
E-text readers, Kurzweil 3000, mobile apps, and more |
Hardware
Perkins braillers, scanners, adaptive keyboards, mice, and more |
If you are not yet familiar with it, take a few minutes to watch this Kurzweil 3000 overview/introductory video (linked below), which explains some of its features and why it is such a powerful tool.
If interested in using this software tool, please ask about our LNSK 102 class, which teaches students how to use Kurzweil 3000. Once a student has learned Kurzweil, it can then be used for any other class that requires any reading and/or writing, to improve comprehension, recall, and thought organization, as well as help create study guides of class material read within Kurzweil.
