Technology in general could be considered to be critical to including many individuals with disabilities in the educational process. Particularly, traditional Assistive Technology software has been used over the last decade to help individuals bypass the challenges associated with their disability. Now, sophisticated portable devices such as the iPod Touch/iPhone and iPad have the potential to respond to the full spectrum of educational and day-to-day needs of every type of learner. Educators can use these types of devices in their classrooms in very different ways than traditional computers.

**Unique Benefits**


These devices offer unique benefits, including being able to instantly communicate and access information/supports. Your technology information/supports are able to easily move with you anywhere. Much of the technology is fully integrated and linked with larger resources on the Internet. Finally, these devices hold no stigma. In fact, individuals who have to use technology to communicate are commenting on how by using these devices for the first time they might be considered “cool”. The value of that kind of general acceptance should never be underestimated.
