Assistive technology in education refers to devices, tools, and software that are designed to help students with disabilities participate in educational activities and enhance their learning opportunities.

Assistive technology provides students with disabilities the support they need to access information, communicate effectively, and participate fully in educational settings. It can help improve their academic performance, independence, and overall quality of life.

Examples of assistive technology include screen readers, speech-to-text software, alternative keyboards and mice, communication devices, and adaptive learning tools. These tools can be customized to meet the specific needs of individual students with disabilities.

Teachers can incorporate assistive technology into their classrooms by identifying the specific needs of their students with disabilities, collaborating with special education professionals, providing training and support for both students and teachers, and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of the technology in enhancing learning opportunities.
