The assistive technology continuum is a continuum of
technology devices that assist students. These devices can range from low-tech
devices to high-tech devices. These devices can be as simple as a slant board,
pencil grip, or keyboard labels (all of which are low-tech devices). Devices
can also be very extensive such voice recognition software, portable word
processer, or word prediction software. Consideration for assistive technology
should begin at the low-tech end, and then gradually progress to mid-tech and
high-tech if the students’ needs are not being met. This continuum is very
important to the functionality of many students requiring assistive technology
services.
