HEARING IMPAIRED
Infrared systems use infrared light to transmit sound. A transmitter converts sound into a light signal and
beams it to a receiver that is worn by a listener. This is a great device for hearing impaired students. This particular device allows children to hear what they
need to.

SEEING IMPAIRED
Specialized computers and enhancing devices can help students with seeing impaired disabilities.
This can enlarge writing and make learning possible for children.

LEARNING DISABLED
The biggest influence for a learning disabled child is an iPad. This device can be effective and make
learning proficient to and disable child. An iPad can
be used to enlarge papers, read to the
person, and research on websites. Students can use a calculator on this device. They can watch themselves sound out
letters with the camera or video process. Students
can play educational games and watch
educational videos dealing with the Common Core
Standards.

PHYSICALLY DISABLED
Sip-and-puff (SNP) assistive technology is used for students who need to signal something to a certain device. The students who are confined to very little movement can make use out of this device. Students who use this can send signals to a computer, wheelchair, or speech
devices.
