Assistive Technology Reading
When I think of technology for students, the first thing that pops into my head is an iPad, but there's many other devices that can be used. The iPad is great though because it comes with accessibilities built right in, such as: voice over, large text, zoom, inverted colors, and even braille. Kindle has many apps as well and it's a fraction of the price. Laptops are obviously expensive, but there are portable word processors that are cheaper and can help with the students typing and writing. Android phones can as be a helpful tool.
As far as some low tech items that I tend to forget about would be a slant board, eliminating unimportant information, highlighting important information, raised lined paper, notecards for underlining the line being read, and a magnifying bar.
