Assistive technology in education is any hardware, software, or system of technical components and processes that enhance the capacity for all students to engage more effectively with the curriculum and their learning environment. Assistive technology can support teachers to provide teaching and learning that is accessible to all students. Assistive technology supports students with diverse learning needs within an inclusive learning environment by: delivering information to students in a way that is more appropriate to their needs, changing the way a student can interact with the curriculum and their environment, and providing a more appropriate and accessible way for students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the curriculum.

Another one of my assignments was to complete research on an Assistive Technology tool that I had never used before. I choose the tool called myhomeworkapp.com.
