Assistive technologies are constantly evolving, allowing teachers to provide a more inclusive education environment for students. Studying this subject will advance your understanding of the characteristics and functions of assistive technology, from low-tech, low-cost devices to high-tech equipment that can help students to achieve their best results. You will analyse ways to select and implement assistive technology to support a variety of needs and contexts and examine theoretical and legal reasons for deploying assistive technology in the classroom. You will also explore ways that assistive technologies can support the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
