AT in Education

Assistive technology in education aims to support students with disabilities in their learning processes. These technologies facilitate access to educational materials, communication, and participation in classroom activities.

Examples include text-to-speech software and screen readers for reading digital textbooks; speech recognition software for students with writing difficulties; Braille notetakers and embossers for students who are blind; alternative keyboards and switches for students with motor impairments; and educational apps and software designed for specific learning disabilities, just to mention a few.
