For my final project, I decided to create a podcast episode that focuses on assistive technology. In this episode, I explore a handful of historic inventions that paved the way for current assistive technology programs. I also discuss my current favourite tech tool that helps kids communicate their ideas in an English Language Arts Classroom. Click here to listen to today’s podcast episode. Enjoy!
