When we think of disabilities, we typically think of those with physical impairments. However, AODA accommodates for all disabilities, including vision deficiencies, deafness, intellectual or developmental disabilities, learning and mental health disabilities. #week5tech252
The advances in technology have really opened up a lot of really amazing ways that we as teachers can help our students i.e. speech-to-text software useful for students with fine motor issues. #week5tech252
Assistive Technologies enable ALL individuals to be more independent, self-confident, productive and better included in every day life, education, and employment. School systems must increase supports to enhance teachers’ ability to effectively use these tools. #week5tech252
“We should assume that poor performance is due to instructional inadequacy rather than to student deficits” - Anne Donnellan #week5tech252 #aac #leastdangerousassumption
In many cases, assistive technology (AT) can benefit ALL students. Students should be provided with opportunities to use AT in cases where it can benefit them as well. This may help normalize AT and reduce perceived barriers and stigma. #week5tech252
Disabilities are not always visible. Improving accessibility should be a focus for all businesses and service providers so that everyone has access and opportunities! #week5tech252
Learning about new #assistivetech Dragon Naturally Speaking - A voice-to-text program that gives students with disabilities the independence to efficiently get their thoughts on paper. May be interesting tool for ELLs to have feedback on conversational English ⌨️

Classroom focus: providing our students with rich learning opportunities. Students should not have to worry about any 'learning barriers', but rather be equipped with the necessary tools and feel confident in facilitating a rich learning environment. Let go & learn #week5tech252
👩🏽🏫Teachers:
i) Become familiar with the assistive tech that is available
ii) Explore them with ALL students; may be helpful for others
iii) Allow student to decide which platform best suits their needs/works for them - “necessary for some, and good for all” #week5tech252
#week5tech252 I very much appreciated the "Technology Tools" reading because it gave me a better understanding of why it is important to use assistive technology tools to make an inclusive classroom environment, especially to improve literacy achievement, which is crucial!
#week5tech252 I am happy to know there are standards for Ontarians with Disabilities and that we have been provided with websites to access more information on the matter. Also happy to know that if I am required to obtain an AODA online training certificate, I know where to go!
The certification process was not too difficult. The qestions encourage us to be empathetic, welcoming and open to all our differences.#week5tech252
I am amazed by the refreshable braille displays assistive tech. How incredibly accessible for students with optic disabilities. Tech has made it possible to accommodate every student, to enable individualize learning and singular successes among our students #week5tech252
AODA started the conversation about accommodating visible & invisible disabilities and is making a difference; getting access is no longer a personal battle but a right. One student who traveled with a service dog often faced reprisals; now she does not.#AccessON #week5tech252
Refreshable Braille display technology is amazing! Check it out! https://t.co/WZ3uVST6Br Visually impaired people can have access to technology that was previously unavailable to them 🙌 #week5tech252 #inclusivity
It's very comforting to know that people with mental health and learning disabilities are accommodated in the workplace. Not all disabilities are visible. #week5tech252
In an inclusive classroom personalized assistive technology tools can look different for each student. How will teachers balance the use of all of these assistive tools to ensure the continuity of ongoing assessment? #week5tech252
I am very happy to know that assistive tech exists and makes school for students that struggle in class easier. I want to see how we can bridge both these technologies and students that are either ESL or ELL, as I think they can greatly benefit. #week5tech252
Give students some freedom when exploring which assistive technology will best meet their individual needs #week5tech252
