Assistive Technology
Assistive technology is any device that helps a person with a disability complete an everyday task. As a student, being able to perform everyday tasks can mean academic success of failing a course. This type of technology was recognized by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1997. Assistive technology is technology used by individuals with disabilities in order to perform functions that might otherwise be difficult or impossible. Assistive Technology is absolutely necessary for a student with disabilities academic success. Our University has amazing Disability Services to offer on site. While touring the Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi Assistive Technology Lab, I was amazed to see all the equipment and aids available for the students. From assistive listening devices to digital recorders, this lab has everything!

I found that the Assisted Technology room was very interesting to learn about. There were so many different types of technology that can be so helpful for our students. I was glad that we got to check this place out. Good job on your notes!
