Types and Examples of Assistive Technology

Myth: AT always involves an electronic device and is always high-tech.

Fact: Many AT devices or tools may be computer-based but items like visual schedules, calendars, adapted scissors, calculators, slant boards, and communication books may also be assistive technology for a student. 

AT devices are categorized into low-tech, mid-tech, and high-tech devices.
