Assistive and Adaptative Devices in Inclusive Education

Abstract

Assistive technology incorporates a variedchoice of tools and strategies that are intended to compensate for specific abilities. These can range from simple, low-tech devices such as crutches or specialized pen grips, to more advanced options like hearing aids or glasses. Inclusive classrooms can benefit from high-tech devices like computers with specialized software that assist dyslexic students in reading. The focus of this paper is to emphasize the rehabilitative and adaptive aspects of technology in the context of an inclusive classroom, as these technical aids and assistive equipment greatly enhance the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process.
