Mobility Limitations
Students living with mobility limitations are often unable to participate fully in classroom learning activities.
Technology Supports:
- Combining up to six SMART Airliners with a SMART board enables students to control the SMART board from their seats
- Use a tennis ball, or other soft round object to write on the SMART board
- Connect student computers to the SMART board via SMART LinQ software
- Place a document camera on the student's desk as an aid for doing presentations
The Airliner wireless slate being used in this image enables students to control the SMART board from any location in the classroom. Students with mobility challenges are able to participate in learning activities
Students who have difficulty gripping the SMART pens can use their fingers, fist, a tennis ball, hackey sac, or any other soft round object to write on the SMART board.
Assistive technology devices are mechanical aids which substitute for or enhance the function of some physical or mental ability that is impaired. Assistive technology helps to level the playing field for individuals with disabilities by providing them a way to fully engage in life’s activities.
The satalight™ is an Assistive Technology Interactive Learning Station, accessible to people with significant physical and/or learning disabilities, including those in wheelchairs. The satalight™ can be height and angle adjusted to accommodate many severely multiple handicapped (SXI) individuals.
