Blog Reflection 1
Technology is a very beneficial tool to everyone because it allows its users to gain access to many valuable things. It is a wonderful resource to have in any classroom or other environment. I believe that technology is extremely resourceful and has a positive impact on students with exceptionalities. Although I am not in a classroom just yet, I believe that the AT services will not only benefit the students in the classroom setting but in the real world to. Using the assistive technology services in the classroom may make the students with exceptionalities feel as though they are no different than any other of their fellow class mates. Unfortunately, the constant budget cuts within the state are making it harder on the schools to abide by IDEA regulations that states every student with an IEP must be considered for AT services.

Budget cuts are a very real problem. They may also be considered opertunities to explore other avenues. Finding corporate sponsers or volunteering to be a beta tester for new technoloty may be a few ways to explore AT services.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that even with the budget cuts, administration will find a way to get the kids what they need in order to have positive learning experiences. However, with the administrative cuts they may be forced to find alternative resources to get assistive technology that the students need.
