Strategies:
Assistive Technology
- On Screen/Scanning Calculator: Big:Calc, available from Don
Johnston, Inc. (www.donjohnston.com)
is a calculator that has six different layouts. It can speak individual
keys, figures, and entire equations. This is useful so the student can
learn to use the computer, practice his mathematical computations, and
still have modifications to assist him when necessary.
- Math processor: MathPad, available from IntelliTools (www.intellitools.com).
Students can perform computations without pencil and paper using included
and custom made overlays. This is useful because, with the opportunity
to make custom overlays, the teacher can create different math problems
for the student to solve with the assistance of the computer.
- Organizing: Inspiration Software (www.inspiration.com).
Student can use this software to brainstorm, organize, prewrite, and
plan the job summaries his is required to write about as per his IEP.
This is useful because the student can use this software to easily visualize
his main ideas before he begins writing.
