assistive technology in teaching students with vision problem
DESCRIPTION
Students with visual learning disorder have to face the biggest challenge of “printed materials” inside and outside the school. The modern development in science has given birth to Assistive Technology that is helping in designing, developing and improving assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities and disorders. The use of Assistive Technology, in Learning-Related Vision Problems, can help such students to improve their performance and use their learning potential more efficiently.TRANSCRIPT

Impairment vs Disability
Impairments: Loss of physiological or psychological function due to an injury, illness, or congenital (inborn) condition.
Disability: Loss or limitation of opportunities to take part in society on an equal level due to social and environmental barriers.

How to reduce the effect of disability?
I am successful because I use
Assistive Technology

What is Assistive technology or Adaptive Technology (AT)?
Devices designed or modified to help individuals in overcoming physical or
cognitive difficulties, impairments, and disabilities

Assistive Vs Educational Technology
AT is more personal to the student
ET is more classroom-based
