Because I have a wide
range of students in my classes and teach multiple subjects, I like to incorporate
technology to be able to meet the needs of all of my students.
I have one student
specifically that is visually impaired. She has someone that take her books and
any work that I get to her in time and she will increase the font as necessary
for her.
Some times when I don’t
get information to her in time, I will electronically send the document to her
and she can use her laptop or phone to pull it up and increase the font. I use
Google Classroom a lot to allow this for her and other students. Having
electronic copies aids parents as well as students.
I really enjoyed doing
research on assistive technology and it led me to more resources. Two sources
that I found that I would love to do more research on and utilize in my
classroom for this student specifically are Seeing AI and Speechify. These came
from an article on Built In.
