• Response to Intervention and Assistive
  Technology. Chapter Two of your textbook
  describes response to intervention (RTI) as a
  multilayered system that can prevent academic and
  social failure before a student is unnecessarily
  or prematurely identified as having a disability
  (p.28). Review the section on Response to
  Intervention in your textbook, and conduct
  additional research on this approach using the
  Library.

• Universal Design for Learning. Learn about
  universal design for learning (UDL) using your
  assigned readings, National Center on Universal
  Design for Learning and UDL Principles and
  Practice, and the Library. Then, explain what UDL
  is, why it is important in the learning
  environment, and how it can impact the lives of
  learners (both with and without disabilities).

• Evaluation of Assistive Technology. Write a paper
  that examines the following quote from your
  textbook
• AT, like education, should not be approached
  with a one size fits all mentality (p.40).
• Explain what this quote means in your own words.
  Then, describe the various steps and aspects that
  should be considered when deciding on an
  assistive technology, and evaluate the risks
  (both to the student and the teacher) that are
  involved in approaching assistive technology with
  a one size fits all mentality.

  Chapter Three of your text explains a process
  called Referral and Assessment for Assistive
  Technology. For this discussion assignment,
  design a diagram, chart, or other visual that
  illustrates the four steps involved this process.
  (To do this, you may use Microsoft Word,
  Microsoft PowerPoint, Timeglider or any other
  tool you prefer.)

• Autism and Learning. Many learners with Autism
  Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience challenges
  communicating with others. Watch the video, iPad
  Unlocks New World for People with Autism, and
  analyze how tools like the iPad can support
  learning for students with ASD. Then, describe an
  example of how you might incorporate a tool like
  the iPad into a lesson plan.

  your textbook provides tables of various
  assistive technology solutions for reading,
  spelling, writing, and mathematics.
• Select two different ATs from one of the lists,

• High-Incidence Disabilities. As stated in your
  text, the three categories of high-incidence
  disabilities defined in the Individuals with
  Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) of
  2004 are
• Mild learning disabilities
• Mental retardation
• Emotional or behavioral disorders

• Pedagogical Strategies for Learning Disabilities.
  Successful Strategies for Teaching Students With
  Learning Disabilities outlines various
  pedagogical strategies for supporting students
  with learning disabilities. Review the
  strategies/interventions listed, and select one
  to investigate. Conduct a web-search of the
  selected strategy and report on your findings in
  the discussion forum. Describe at least two
  specific examples of what these strategies might
  look like in the classroom.

• Assistive Technology Plan. For the Week Four
  assignment, you will create an assistive
  technology plan for a learner with a physical
  impairment. In the chart below, identify a
  learner with a physical impairment to create an
  assistive technology plan to support them in the
  classroom. In your plan, you will identify the
  learner, the disability area, and the grade
  level.

• EDU 620 Week 4 DQ 2 Distance Learning

• Physical Disabilities and Assistive Technology.
  Read Chapter Six of your textbook, and watch the
  video, How Assistive Technology Enables Dreams.
  Then, examine the importance of assistive
  technology in supporting students with physical
  impairments. Discuss how assistive technology can
  empower students and promote greater
  independence.

• Distance Learning. While distance learning can
  certainly support students with physical
  disabilities, Chapter 10 of your textbook focuses
  on distance learning as a tool for students with
  various disabilities. Examine the benefits and
  challenges of distance learning for students with
  physical disabilities. (Hint Consider both gross
  motor disabilities as well as fine motor
  disabilities.) What are some AT devices that can
  be used to support learners with physical
  disabilities in the distance learning
  environment? What are some AT devices that can be
  used to support learners with other disabilities
  (i.e autism, learning disabilities, intellectual
  disabilities, etc.) in the distance learning
  environment?

• Assistive Technology for Visual and Hearing
  Impairments. Search the web for videos and/or
  articles on AT for visual and hearing impairments
  (e.g., screen reader software, hearing aids,
  etc.). Then, write an evaluation of these
  technologies. Your paper should include
• The specific devices you researched

• Sensory Disabilities. Chapter Eight of the
  textbook covers sensory disabilities. The most
  commonly known are visual and hearing
  impairments. Explain how these types of
  disabilities could impact ones learning
  experience, and identify some AT devices that can
  support students with these disabilities.
  Finally, select an academic subject (e.g.,
  mathematics, science, language arts, fine arts,
  etc.) and describe how the AT devices you
  identified could be applied to a lesson in that
  subject.

• Age of Onset. There are many things to consider
  when supporting students with sensory
  impairments one being the age of onset. What
  does the text say about this important piece of
  information? What can it tell the teacher or
  service professional?

• Assistive Technology for Communication. In
  Chapter Seven of the text, we meet Betsy Taylor
  in the Assistive Technology Snapshot. Based on
  Betsys educational and communication needs,
  discuss some of the possible accommodations and
  assistive technology devices or programs you
  might use to support her classroom needs (further
  than the ones suggested in the case study).

• EDU 620 Week 6 Final Project

• Focus of the Final Project
• Over the past six weeks, you have learned about
  several disabilities and how they impact a
  students learning experience. For the final
  project, you will be asked to respond to several
  case studies. Each of these case studies involves
  a specific disability and a unique set of issues
  for each of the identified students. Your
  assignment is to respond uniquely to each of the
  scenarios. Your responses should include the
  following elements
• Identification of the specific
  academic/behavioral issues that could be
  addressed through assistive technology
