I am not a teacher. However, during my student teaching I learned a lot about assistive technology. When in the classroom I learned nothing about assistive technology. I had two autistic children who did not use any technology in my classroom. They were taken out of the class after lunch and taught in their own classroom for the rest of the day. During staff development we were not shown any technology that could or would be made available to use in our classroom.
Over the past couple of semesters I have had to do research on assistive technology and have found it to be very interesting and would one day like to use it in the classroom. although, assistive technology is a great idea I think the training and incorporating it would be very expensive but very beneficial.
