Course Objectives: | This course is designed to be an overview of the principles, techniques, applications and innovation used in assistive technology (AT) for people with special needs. The basic concept of the course material is to learn about and use technologies (low to high) to overcome handicaps, improve functionality and identify features to meet the educational needs of this population. Strategic Technology Analysis and Strategies for integrating AT into the classroom in both self-contained and inclusive settings will be discussed. The course will be focusing mostly on integrating technology/computer-based applications and adaptations. |
