Response to Intervention and Assistive Technology. Chapter Two of your textbook
describes response to intervention (RTI) as a multilayered system that can prevent
academic and social failure before a student is unnecessarily or prematurely
identified as having a disability (p.28). Review the section on Response to
Intervention in your textbook, and conduct additional research on this approach using
the Library.

Universal Design for Learning. Learn about universal design for learning (UDL) using
your assigned readings, National Center on Universal Design for Learning and UDL:
Principles and Practice, and the Library. Then, explain what UDL is, why it is
important in the learning environment, and how it can impact the lives of learners
(both with and without disabilities). Lastly, develop a basic lesson plan that
incorporates UDL standards. Your lesson plan should include a learning outcome, at
least one learning resource, and the related learning activity(ies).

Evaluation of Assistive Technology. Write a paper that examines the following quote
from your textbook:
AT, like education, should not be approached with a one size fits all mentality
(p.40).
Explain what this quote means in your own words. Then, describe the various steps
and aspects that should be considered when deciding on an assistive technology,
and evaluate the risks (both to the student and the

Referral and Assessment for Assistive Technology. Chapter Three of your text
explains a process called Referral and Assessment for Assistive Technology. For this
discussion assignment, design a diagram, chart, or other visual that illustrates the
four steps involved this process. (To do this, you may use Microsoft Word, Microsoft
PowerPoint, Timeglider or any other tool you prefer.) Then, select one of the four
steps, and explain why it is important to the whole process, and what it contributes to
the overall learning experience.

Autism and Learning. Many learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
experience challenges communicating with others. Watch the video, iPad Unlocks
New World for People with Autism, and analyze how tools like the iPad can support
learning for students with ASD. Then, describe an example of how you might
incorporate a tool like the iPad into a lesson plan.

Pedagogical Strategies for Learning Disabilities. Successful Strategies for Teaching
Students With Learning Disabilities outlines various pedagogical strategies for
supporting students with learning disabilities. Review the strategies/interventions
listed, and select one to investigate. Conduct a web-search of the selected strategy
and report on your findings in the discussion forum. Describe at least two specific
examples of what these strategies might look like in the classroom.

Assistive Technology Plan. For the Week Four assignment, you will create an
assistive technology plan for a learner with a physical impairment. In the chart below,
identify a learner with a physical impairment to create an assistive technology plan to
support them in the classroom. In your plan, you will identify the learner, the disability
area, and the grade level. Then in two to three paragraphs, you will discuss the
characteristics of the student such as the educational strengths and needs of the

Physical Disabilities and Assistive Technology. Read Chapter Six of your textbook,
and watch the video, How Assistive Technology Enables Dreams. Then, examine the
importance of assistive technology in supporting students with physical impairments.
Discuss how assistive technology can empower students and promote greater
independence.
Next, Identify some AT devices that can be considered with physical disabilities, and
explain how you would incorporate AT into the classroom (e.g., any special
considerations you would make, how you would prepare yourself and the student,
which subject(s) the AT device might be best suited for, etc.).

Distance Learning. While distance learning can certainly support students with
physical disabilities, Chapter 10 of your textbook focuses on distance learning as a
tool for students with various disabilities. Examine the benefits and challenges of
distance learning for students with physical disabilities. (Hint: Consider both gross
motor disabilities as well as fine motor disabilities.) What are some AT devices that
can be used to support learners with physical disabilities in the distance learning
environment? What are some AT devices that can be used to support learners with
other disabilities (i.e autism, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, etc.) in the
distance learning environment?

Assistive Technology for Visual and Hearing Impairments. Search the web for videos
and/or articles on AT for visual and hearing impairments (e.g., screen reader
software, hearing aids, etc.). Then, write an evaluation of these technologies. Your
paper should include:
The specific devices you researched
What these devices enable learners to do, and how they work
Any challenges you foresee in using and/or learning to use the devices
How these devices might be incorporated into the classroom
Your paper should be three to five pages in length (excluding title and reference
pages) and formatted to APA style.

Sensory Disabilities. Chapter Eight of the textbook covers sensory disabilities. The
most commonly known are visual and hearing impairments. Explain how these types
of disabilities could impact ones learning experience, and identify some AT devices
that can support students with these disabilities. Finally, select an academic subject
(e.g., mathematics, science, language arts, fine arts, etc.) and describe how the AT
devices you identified could be applied to a lesson in that subject.

Age of Onset. There are many things to consider when supporting students with
sensory impairments: one being the age of onset. What does the text say about this
important piece of information? What can it tell the teacher or service professional?
How might knowing this information impact the support a student receives? Finally,
what is one other piece of information you would gather, if you were responsible for
supporting a student with either a visual or hearing impairment?

Assistive Technology for Communication. In Chapter Seven of the text, we meet
Betsy Taylor in the Assistive Technology Snapshot. Based on Betsys educational
and communication needs, discuss some of the possible accommodations and
assistive technology devices or programs you might use to support her classroom
needs (further than the ones suggested in the case study). Further, evaluate the IEP
teams decision to use a fixed-display communication board and discuss if you feel
this is an appropriate device or if you feel other AAC devices should be explored and
why. Lastly, discuss ways the device you are suggesting or supporting could be used
in the context of classroom activities.

Focus of the Final Project
Over the past six weeks, you have learned about several disabilities and how they
impact a students learning experience. For the final project, you will be asked to
respond to several case studies. Each of these case studies involves a specific
disability and a unique set of issues for each of the identified students. Your
assignment is to respond uniquely to each of the scenarios. Your responses should
include the following elements:
Identification of the specific academic/behavioral issues that
