Chapter 8 Focus 1

There are many types of assistive technology located on a AT(assistive technology) continuum.  The continuum includes low to high tech devices.  The low technology devices are easy to implement items like keyboard labels, magnifying lenses, and moisture guards for computers. Mid technology and high technology keyboards are more intense and adjusted than a simple moisture guard.  These help with a multitude of disabilities such as deafness, and blindness.  This are similar to the technology mentioned and presented in my previous post about computer adjustments for students with disabilities.  This continuum can help in deciding on what level technology for different activities or goals set by the team or even what level of disability the student has.
