The lives of children with special needs
can be significantly improved by assistive technology, especially in terms of
their academic progress. Although the majority of assistive technology is
currently unavailable due to its high cost, there are low-tech and no-tech
options that educators can use to help students with disabilities learn. I
believe that educators can significantly improve inclusive education if they
receive specialized training in working with students with special needs and
are given the tools and skills to use assistive technology effectively. If
there is an issue with the availability of this assistive technology, we can
improvise a solution.
