Description

This course will explore the role Assistive Technology (AT) plays in the lives of children with combined sensory disabilities with or without additional disabilities. The primary objective of this course will be to learn what constitutes best practices in assistive technology assessment and implementation, including collaboration with other professionals. Rather than learning how to use individual technologies, we will survey various technologies that may benefit students who are Deafblind. We will also discuss what the law has to say about assistive technology. The content of this course will include readings, instructor and guest presentations, group discussions, quizzes and exams, field experiences, and assignments.

Prerequisites
