Portfolio Title Activity One: Assistive Technologies Assistive Technology or “AT” is a term used in this context to describe an object or technique used to make navigating a home easier, an accessible school or play environment for a child with special needs (Lowenthal & Egan, 2003). This article was written to explore some of the assistive technology (AT) options available to serve two children with special needs in separate circumstances. Low-, medium- and high-tech options will be addressed taking into account the specific needs and intentions of parents and teachers in each child's life. Attached is a table that offers options for assistive technology in the classroom to support each child's educational goals. The first case study addressed in this paper is Savannah, a three-year-old student confined to a wheelchair. She has a seizure disorder and has been diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy. She has limited vision but appears to be able to recognize objects presented to her as shapes and colors. Savannah participates in “social” language. Loves music and cause/effect activities. He knows all its colors and shapes, he can recite the alphabet by heart. In the written words, Savannah recognizes both her name and those of her classmates. Savannah's parents have expressed a desire to place her in a more restrictive classroom, and her teacher is interested in working harder to support Savannah in the areas of writing and organizational skills. Discussed below are some suggestions for assistive technologies to use to support Savannah. As Savannah's teacher is working to encourage Savannah in the area of ​​writing, assistive technology options to support this area of ​​development will be discussed here.
