Assistive Tech for Testing Merges Into Mainstream
As students with disabilities in Virginia's Fauquier County district take online assessments, they have access to a toolbox of technologies that can make it easier to show what they know. An optic mouse can help magnify text; a text-to-speech tool provides a spoken version of exam questions; and various switches and joysticks, for those unable to use a mouse and keyboard, can be merged with the assessment.

LATAN - Louisiana Assistive Technology Access Network Assistive Technology (AT) is best described as any device, technology, or aid that assists a person with any type of disability to be more independent, and able to perform a task. AT helps people with disabilities perform the daily activities most other people take for granted. Getting out of bed and going to work or school may only be possible for some people because of the use of AT. Once at work or school, using a computer, reading or communicating with peers are tasks that may also require the use of AT. AT plays a vital role in ensuring that people with disabilities achieve their best and participate fully in the community.

Video of a child using the PODD system. Similar to PECS, this can be extremely helpful for children with communication disorders or Autism.
Timers can assist students with Autism who have a need for schedules. This is a very visual way for them to know how much time they have left for a specific activity. Mayer-Johnson -Audible Timer
This video details several simple forms of AT that can be used in the classroom for students who have been diagnosed with ASD by CassieWasHere1
