What I Know About Assistive Technology

I haven't done any research on this yet but I believe assistive technology relates to students with special needs. I have encountered this in my classroom. I had a legally blind student for awhile and he had a special tool to help him magnify the screen for him. This was a way to help equalize the field for him to do projects just like anyone else. I have seen many professionals who are paralyzed and many use assistive technology to help them communicate, live, and lead professional lives. This is what I think assistive technology is.
