Answer to Question 1

An assistive technology refers to any item or device that is used to affect the functional abilities of disabled persons. A visually impaired student could use a speech synthesizer to have selected portions of text read aloud, eliminating the need for a live reader. Other technologies and their uses are described on pages 145-147 . Government action in the form of federal legislation has led to the development of these technologies that make it possible for students to compensate for their disabilities.
