The second edition of Assistive Technology in the Classroom:
Enhancing the School Experiences of Students with Disabilities, by Amy
G. Dell, focuses on the use of assistive technology to increase the
independence and participation of students with disabilities in
classrooms by providing them with access to the curriculum. With an
emphasis on both the relationship between assistive technology and
learning and on how assistive technology can be integrated into the
curriculum, this text assesses the school-related tasks that students
with disabilities need to perform in order to be successful. Instead of
approaching the central topic of assistive technology in the classroom
through disability categories, this book recognizes that each child is
unique and that there are multiple factors to examine before choosing
technology tools for each student. Throughout the book, assistive
technology tools are not discussed in isolation--the context for
technology use is always the classroom, the teaching-learning process,
and its impact on students with disabilities. The 384-page paperback
book is available for a cost of $53.33. For more information, contact:
