What is the definition of assistive technology?

Tools that hinder learning.

Tools that help a student access learning; examples include text-to-speech software and alternative input devices.

Assistive technology refers to tools and devices that help a student access learning by compensating for barriers to participation. These can range from text-to-speech software that reads text aloud to alternative input devices that let a student interact with a computer when traditional methods are difficult. The goal is to increase access to the curriculum and promote independence. It is not about hindering learning, it is not a type of therapy, and it isn’t a classroom rule. Examples include text-to-speech, screen readers, alternative keyboards, and switch interfaces.

A type of therapy.
