Assistive Technology for Students with Visual Impairments
Reviewing classifications of assistive technologies, both low and high tech, and how they may best serve the student, are the primary goals of this course. In addition, it features legislative background and federal funding for assistive technology. This, along with a robust resource list, makes this an invaluable tool for the VI teacher.
