Assistive Technology for Children with Disabilities
Keywords:
Assistive, TechnologyAbstract
Help is at hand for those who struggle with a wide range of disabilities, ranging from cognitive issues to physical impairments, thanks to the availability of assistive technology, abbreviated as AT. In this essay, we will concentrate primarily on assistive technology (AT) for those who have learning difficulties (LD). Many young people benefit greatly from engaging in educational activities that make use of various forms of modern technology. Additionally, it is common for students who have learning impairments to achieve higher levels of success when they are given the opportunity to make use of their competencies (or strengths) in order to compensate for their deficiencies.
