Here is a worthwhile article on the use of assistive technology for our students with learning needs, well worth the read. I like the sound of the new smart pen...not to mention the price!
The quote below summarises assistive technology use perfectly.
“One of the oppositions to assistive technology is that it’s a crutch. To that, I would say, can you pass me your glasses? Can you read this? Your glasses are not a crutch,” said assistive technology consultant Karen Janowski. “It’s not a crutch if it promotes success, confidence, and mastery, but mostly independence.”
