Below are a few assistive technology options for your student to use if they need a little extra help!
Speech to Text Technology
Speech-To-Text Technology is that it allows users to write with their voices, instead of writing by hand or with a keyboard. This can be helpful for people with dysgraphia , dyslexia, and other learning and thinking differences that impact writing. If your student struggles with writing, this technology is incredibly resourceful.
Talking Calculators
Students who have dyscalculia can benefit greatly from a talking calculator. The gadget makes it easier to check assignments, read numbers and perform calculations. While the talking calculator is a fairly simple tool, it offers an exceptional benefit for students who would otherwise struggle in math classes.
Read2Go
Some students with attention challenges find it tough to focus while listening to audiobooks. Read2Go and audiobooks in Learning Ally's VOICEtext format highlight each word on the screen as it is read. This innovative feature is also good for students who need to build decoding skills.
iPads
Within our classroom, we are using Chromebook and iPads to complete our weekly assignments. If you have an iPad at home, download Lexia, MathWhizz, Study Island, and iReady for your students to engage in learning at home.
