History of Assistive Technology
Technology Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities Act of 1988
• The "Tech Act" provided federal funds to states to develop training and delivery systems for assistive technology devices and services. This act first defined Assistive Technology Devices and Services and promoted the availability and quality of AT devices and services to all individuals, including children.

The Purpose of Assistive Technology
• Allows more independent functioning through the use of assistive, adaptive, or augmentative devices.
• For the individual to reach the highest possible level of functioning.

Types of Devices• Assistive Devices: help alleviate
the impact of a disability.
• Example- Tape recorded lessons for students with specific reading disabilities.

Types of Devices• Adaptive Technology: substitutes
or makes up for the loss of function brought on by a disability.
• Example- sophisticated robotic feeding tube for individuals with Quadriplegia.

Types of Devices• Augmentative Devices: increase the
area of functioning that is deficient but still have some residual abilities.
• Currently, the term augmentative devices only refers to devices that improve communication.
• Example- A microchip powered voice output box for individuals with Dysarthria.

Did you know?Many people use assistive devices daily without even knowing it.– rubber cushion on a pen– electronic hole puncher and stapler– door stop – automatic doors

3 Ways to Acquire Assistive Devices and Technology.
• 1. Direct Purchase from commercial supplier.
• 2. Development of a custom made device.
• 3. Modification of an existing device.

Classification of Assistive Technology
• Low-Tech- low cost materials, do not require batteries or electronics to operate.
• Mid-Tech- generally require batteries/electrical power and are more complex in their use.
• High-Tech- are complicated and expensive to own and maintain.
![Page 10: Chapter 36 Technological Assistance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162a1550346895dd31a8d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Assistive Technology is used in 5 ways.
• Medical Assistance• Physical Disabilities• Sensory Impairment• Communication Disabilities• Cognitive and Learning
Disabilities

Technology for Medical Assistance
• Medical devices that replace or increase the functioning of a vital body function.
• These include – Respiratory Support (Artificial Airways)– Monitoring and Surveillance Devices (Pulse
Oximeter)– Nutritional Fluid Assistance (Feeding Tubes)– Intravenous Fluid Assistive Devices (central
venous line to provide nutrition and medication)
![Page 12: Chapter 36 Technological Assistance](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162a1550346895dd31a8d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Did you know?• The use of assistive technology for
medical assistance only occurs in 1 per 1000 children and most of the uses are temporary (surgery, premature birth)
• However, the incidence appears to be increasing in children under the age of 1 due to the improved survival rate of low birth weight infants.

Technology for Physical Disabilities
• Low Tech- ankle-foot orthoses, hand splints and spinal braces.
• Mid-Tech- Treadmills with support frames
• High-Tech- Personal Computer with modifications (joystick instead of keyboard)

What P.E Teachers can do• Modify Equipment
– Bowling Ramp for Bowling Unit– Modified Tee Ball Equipment
• Modify Rules– Allow the ball to bounce off of the ground in
volleyball or allow unlimited hits on each side– Zone Soccer
• Challenge by Choice– Allow all students to select between different
levels of challenges and difficulty (different size equipment, different distances)

Conclusion• As teachers we are striving to help
every student reach his or her potential. • Communicate with other staff members
and share best practices.• As teachers it is important to focus on
what each student can do rather than what he or she can’t do.
• Focus on the student and not the disability.
