As a parent of 2 dyslexic boys, I am always on the hunt for great assistive technology that they can use in the classroom. We know that the use of assistive technology can ignited a passion and transformed a life of students with learning disabilities. Parents and teachers need a understanding of what this assistive tech can do for their students.

 Assistive technology is extremely important for people with disabilities and today we showcase Microsoft’s AT and just how empowering it can be during a pandemic.  

Today’s we’ll be speaking with Mrs. Rachel Berger about Assistive technology and how to it can help students with learning disabilities.
