Techtalk: Assistive Technology for Writing
Caverly, David C.
Journal of Developmental Education, v31 n3 p36-37 Spr 2008
In this article, the author discusses Assistive Technology (AT) for writing. AT provides access and assistance for students with disabilities (Swd) who might not otherwise have success with writing. Still, having access is not enough. Swd need to be assisted in their selection of the variety of AT that best fits their needs, trained how to use the various types of AT, and supported by their families to maintain continued use beyond instructors' purview.
