High-tech assistive technology is often digital or electronic. High-tech devices are likely to require training or experience to use. This is the most complex form of assistive technology.
Some high-tech options for reading and writing may include:
Computers and laptops offer students the opportunity to type rather than physically write. This assistive technology can be especially useful for students who have dysgraphia. Computers have many applications or software that can help students with various needs.
Students can use speech-to-text software to translate their verbal thoughts into written words.
Tablets, including but not limited to iPads, Kindle Fires, and Samsung Tablets, have different apps that can be used to assist students in their learning, depending on their specific needs.
Text-to-speech software turns everything that is written into spoken words and expressions.
