Double Entry Journal 10

Three things I learned from these websites:

1) There are many different things that go along with a learning disability. That many people don't understand, it is a complex thing with no two people having the same difficulties.
2) Many people don't understand exactly what a learning disability can consist of. Many people just see these students as dumb or lazy where they are the complete opposite.
3) Most students with learning disabilities have to teach themselves in order to fully understand what is going on in class. They have trouble with reading, writing, and math  and each one is more severe then the other.


What can asisstive technology do:

1) These tools if they fit the person is right for it will help boost their self-esteem and build confidence.
2) It will also help them to learn in different ways. It helps them to express themselves by helping them with their feelings.

This resource I found was a very good tool in understanding asisstive technology. It shows how kids with autism are finding the Ipad apps very helpful in expressing themselves and even talk for them.
