Too many times in graduate study, we are inundated with theory that has no real practical use. Enter this text! It is a new addition to my graduate program, and it provides practical information about assistive technology, low-tech to high-tech, that can be easily incorporated into any classroom. It describes products, explains use, describes disabilities that can be helped, and even gives vendor information!

This product is a "must have" for any special educator!

This a great book for individuals in education who are trying to learn more about assistive technology.

Beware: The kindle version only works on your computer. You cannot actually read it on the kindle device itself. This was disappointing as I did not want to have to lug my computer around just to have access to this book. Unfortunately, had I known, I would have bought the physical copy; but now its too late as I currently need access to this book for school. ALSO BEWARE: that there are several occasions where I have stumble across a blank page with a few words "This item omitted from WebBook Edition." I think that they are mostly images, perhaps tables, but it annoying to pay for content and not actually be able to SEE the content. The actual book itself is interesting and informative. If it wasn't for the format that I currently have for it, I would actually be enjoying the book.

As an AT Spec. I am constantly asked by parents when AT tools are identified how to implement the tool into the classroom work. Making it real is so important. Otherwise the tools just sit and aren't used to help the student meet their IEP goals. This book does look at the low to high tech options available. I have seen many names in the book that are people in Special Education that I greatly admire and their input shows.

I used this book for an assistive technology class while working on my master's. There is so much useful information beyond the text! There are examples, websites, and information on organizations that would be beneficial to anyone interested in working with AT.

The deliver of my book was speedy which I appreciated very much. I ordered the book and had it in about two days. It was helpful to have it that fast as my class started two days later. The book was in good shape.
Thanks
