The site http://www.nsnet.org/ provides links to help support students and adults that have a disability. NSNET is run by Nova Scotia Community Organization Network. The site provided a “Tool Box” that was full of; “Assistive Technology Tools, Tips and Tricks” This was prepared as a presentation by James Roy, a Coordinator for Technical Resource Centre (TRC) in Waterville Nova Scotia. This site benefits all students and adults with “Learning Disabilities and Cognitive Challenges.” In the site, the list of Low Tech Assistive Technology and Mid-High Tech Assistive Technology was great because it provided specific examples in a list format. This was a great site for my parents who were interested in the types of Assistive Technology, because it was a list that was easily read and followed. The site also broke down different types of Assistive Technology for different areas of concern (i.e. Writing, Spelling, Reading) Students who have SLP, Autism, MR, and Orthopedic Impairments would benefit from Assistive Technology listed on this site (depending on the individual student’s needs of course!)
