Amy's Assistive Technology Blog: December 2010

http://amysassistivetech.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Amy's Assistive Technology Blog. Friday, December 17, 2010. Not just another iPad post. I recently received these thoughts from a student via the QIAT listserve about the benefits of having an iPad:. Less space – I can have my textbook open and my ipad to take notes. When I used the computer, I had to have my aide take my notes because I couldn’t have both in front of me.

Amy's Assistive Technology Blog. Tuesday, September 14, 2010. AT in the Kitchen. Is there AT for the kitchen? If you take a look at the Assistive and Instructional Technology Lab. At the University of Texas at Austin, you will notice a section on kitchen items. These include large type timers, color coded measuring utensils, and jar openers. Some other things to consider are larger handles for easier grip. Check out these two vegetable peelers. Being able to be independent in the kitchen is so important&...

Amy's Assistive Technology Blog: iAT Specialist and iMom

http://amysassistivetech.blogspot.com/2012/01/iat-specialist-and-imom.html

Amy's Assistive Technology Blog. Thursday, January 12, 2012. IAT Specialist and iMom. For my job I travel between all the schools in our district.

When I was first approached about a one button mouse, I went to Best Buy. This is my result. A one ...
