One thing that I never really thought about before is how do college students get the services they need. I guess I originally thought they did not go to college. Some of the students just need a little assistance.
We recently had a visitor in our class that showed us the assistive technology that she uses on campus. One of them was a pen that can record notes and it comes with a special notebook that it can read back the notes that you have already written. The school provides them as a loan as a trial to see if it is something that the student would want to purchase. She also used a software that Cabrini provided that helps her with writing papers. It has grammar and spell check just like Word but it can do more than just that. It can read highlighted section to her. There's also a section that allowed her to create vocabulary words that she can refer back to.
It was nice to see how my university provides assistance to students that need assistive technology. It has definitely opened my eyes to older students getting the support they need to pass their classes.
