Coleman, Mari Beth
Physical Disabilities: Education and Related Services, v30 n2 p2-22 Fall 2011
Students with physical disabilities often require assistive technology to access curriculum and instruction. This paper discusses some of the issues that impede successful implementation of assistive technology for students with physical disabilities and provides a checklist that teachers and related services personnel may use when considering assistive technology for curriculum access. While not exhaustive, the checklist contains assistive technology services and needs that should be addressed as well as assistive technology devices that may be used by students with physical disabilities for curriculum access. (Contains 1 table.)
