An Analysis of Best Practices and Assistive Technology Tools for Students with Learning Disabilities

Abstract

Incorporating special education students into the
general education classrooms has become increasingly common
in today's classrooms. According to the U. S. Department of
Education, nearly 99% of students with learning disabilities are
receiving "special education and related services" in a general
education classroom. This paper addressed what forms of
assistive technology are being utilized and how this technology is
used in conjunction with general education teaching methods.
Best practices are also discussed.
