This document evaluates the use of assistive technology for a student referred to as Student A. Student A has an IEP noting needs for extended time on math exams, difficulty transferring information from listening to paper, a need to sit separately from distractions, and having ADHD requiring refocusing. An assistive technology implementation plan and consideration guide were created for Student A. While using a calculator and visual presentation device, Student A felt more engaged and confident in their math skills, particularly budgets. Their grades improved, rising from 42% on a pre-test to 98% on a later test covering similar material. The teacher was pleased with how assistive technology helped Student A and the entire class learn.

Assistive Technology Module Evaluation In this module, the teacher has to look at assistive technology and what it was. The purpose of this activity was to give the opportunity to enhance an individuals understanding of what classroom teachers can do to help students with disabilities (SWD) fully succeed in their use of assistive technology (AT). In this paper, the students identity will be changed to keep them anonymous. They will be referred to from here on out as Student A. Student A has Individual Education Plan (IEP) that states that they are to have extended time in math, they have a hard time transferring what they hear to paper, need to sit towards the front separated from distraction, and have ADHD so they need to be refocused. Currently the only instructions to help the student in math were to have extended time during exams. Below are the Assistive Technology Implementation Plan and the WATI Assistive Technology Consideration Guide.

While the student was using the technology, data was gathered. The student determined that they felt that assistive devices were engaging and helped them feel more confident about what they were doing. The ELMO was awesome! It totally helped me understand budgets and take better notes! This is the feedback that was received from the student. While the student was using the assistive technology, improvement in the students behavior and grades was noticed. The student experienced an increase in their grade and in their confidence in the material. They were currently learning about how to make a budget given a percent value and a monthly net pay. The student was more engaged and confident with their answers while using the calculator and the notes they had taken. The assistive technology most certainly helped the student be more successful. It makes me wish that I had done this sooner with this student and with any other student in the class who need it. I found that it not only helped this student that it helped all of the students in class take more detailed notes on the material and the problems that we were doing. The student had received a 42 on a quiz on the budgets before the assistive technology was implemented. The student received a 98 on the test that covered the same material plus come new material. I am so glad that this was able to help this student so much!
