In the previous post I identified educational applications
for math concepts and skills. With learning these skills and concepts students
with disabilities may need accommodations with the use of low and high tech
devices. These assisted technology devices can be as simple as stamps and as
complicated as calculators.
Low tech tool examples are things like manipulatives,
addition and multiplication charts.

A
high tech device example is a calculator with large/oversized buttons are
useful for students with fine motor disabilities.
Talking calculators is an
example of a high tech device that students with visual impairments can use to
complete math assignments.
Another example of a high-tech device is See ‘n’
Solve calculators. These calculators show the entire math problem.
