I mainly talk about elementary level students because that is what I teach everyday. It's hard to imagine much else in my world, but after reading Chapter 14 in my class's textbook, I realized how much it's integrated into college level as well!
This chapter was very interesting to me, so I wanted to discuss the reasons why AT can can serve as a reasonable accommodation for students with disabilities at the collegiate level.
It's also important to note and remember:
Under Section 504 and the ADA, colleges must provide, at no cost to the student, reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities
It is very reasonable and here are some reasons why:
- Note taking by means of a portable note taker
- Understanding lectures via an assistive listening system
-Taking tests using speech software
- Accessing course materials with use of captioned videos
- Completing assignments with graphic organizer applications
- Making college web-based systems accessible to all students
How do feel about AT accommodations in college?
