Using Assistive Technology to Individualize Instruction

Differentiated instruction is a way of individualizing instruction to meet the varied learning styles and abilities of students with disabilities. Assistive technology (AT) can support differentiated instruction by capitalizing on learners’ strengths while compensating for their areas of difficulty.

Participants at this workshop will:

• learn about AT that supports differentiated instruction and learning in reading, writing, math, communication, note taking, and organization
• see demonstrations and have hands-on opportunities with technologies
• discover best practices for selecting AT
• find out about resources for funding AT for students with disabilities

This workshop is sponsored by a grant from Alliant Energy.
