You will write a research paper that describes characteristics of a chosen disability, and strategies for working with an individual with that disability. The Assistive Technology textbook will be read independently throughout the course and used as the primary source for completing the paper.
You must incorporate one (1) Assistive Technology (AT) device, inclusive of how the device works, and how it is used with students with the identified disability. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the AT and how it is used in a variety of settings.
Write your paper in APA format. You must use at least three peer-reviewed journal references.
The paper will follow APA Style, 7th Ed, double-spaced (12-point font)
1) Introduction (3/4 page to 1 page that explains a particular disability)
2) Overview of AT, uses and feasibility in terms of use (cost, motor, complexity, transition, post EC-12) including strengths and weaknesses-(2-3 pages)
3) Conclusion (1/2 page to 3/4 page)
4) References (this is the last page that includes citations- not included in the page count) References can be your e textbooks and at least 3 peer-reviewed scholarly journal article. Make an effort to find an article about the implementation of the Assistive Technology, i.e., how to teach using the AT.
¾ page to 1 full page
