Foundations of Assistive and Instructional Technology

Theory, research, and practice in identifying, implementing, and evaluating assistive and instructional technology for students with disabilities. Candidates will develop knowledge, skills, and dispositions to: (a) integrate technology in planning and managing the teaching and learning environment, (b) use technology to conduct assessments, and (c) make appropriate technology-related adaptations for students with disabilities. The course is designed to provide a broad knowledge base, rather than disability-specific information with the goal of assisting candidates to develop technology competencies that they can apply with students with disabilities within their age specialization (elementary or adolescent) within special education and general education classrooms.
