Assistive Technologies for Intervention
For this assignment, we created a group padlet. The difficulties involved with timezones, locations and communication lead to a more open-ended approach. The goals were posted on the padlet, with cohorts marking off the areas they have completed and worked on.
The 13 categories of disabilities as identified by IDEA:
1. Specific Learning Disability (SLD)- Farhana
2. Other health impairment (ADHD) (Rania)
3. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (Hannah)
4. Emotional Disturbance - Farhana
5. Speech or Language Impairment (Minchan)
6. Visual impairment, incl. blindness -Farhana
7. Deafness (David)
8. Hearing impairment (David)
9. Deaf-blindness- (Rossany)
10.Orthopedic Impairment (Alex)
11. Intellectual disability (Ben)
12. Traumatic brain injury (TBI)-Elizabeth
13. Multiple disabilities
Disabilities Coverage
A consensus was reached on the percentage of high or low incidence for each category by the cohort.
Mind Map
Cohort used all the features of the mind mapping tool such as visual organization, audio/video, pictures and graphics to make the mind map informative, attractive, and easy to read and included the cohort name in the title. They also used the Comments feature to collaborate with each other while working on the mind map.
