Assistive and Adaptive Technology - Current Practice and Future Needs
Assistive and adaptive technologies help
individuals with learning disabilities bypass,
work around, or compensate for their
disability, increasing independence,
participation, and potential.

•HIGH TECH
•LOW TECH
•OR EVEN, NO TECH
The assistance and adaptation are designed to help the individual have equal access to learning opportunities and to make life easier and more manageable.

Assistive and Adaptive Technology - Current Practice and Future Needs
Individuals with Disabilities Act•Originally made law in 1990.
•Provides for “free, appropriate, public education.”
•Re-authorized in July 1997 after two years of discussion and debate to complete the regulations.
•Letter of the law versus the spirit of the law.

Assistive and Adaptive Technology - Current Practice and Future Needs
•Learning disabilities are neither cured nor outgrown.
•Children with learning differences grow up to be adults with learning differences.
