摘要: About 6 % of school-age students have a learning disability (LD), which is the largest special education category in terms number students. These face academic challenges that are varied reading, writing, and mathematics. Although not all with LD disabilities three areas, high percentage multiple LD. Over years, assistive technology (AT) devices services increased exponentially possibilities for individuals (LD) to access general curriculum focus on success. The purpose this chapter examine how use AT help compensate their disability-related weaknesses We provide definitional elements characteristic behaviors present Adaptations Framework teachers tasks classrooms requisite abilities required do compared strengths presented by describe devices, available instruction promote success mathematics, discuss process conducting an assessment Additionally, we CAI has progressed be viable option improving mathematics abilities. Finally, overview findings from research studies involving areas offered insight about potential promise
