For this discussion, please share a story about an experience that you have had when assistive technology played a role in helping a learner with a disability to fully participate and/or integrate into a classroom or community activity. For those of you who do not directly work with learners who benefit from assistive technology, there are always stories about those you have seen or met online or have read about. Share!!! If you can't think of a personal story or a story that you have seen or read, you can use case studies that you have already met in the videos to discuss how AT helped them to participate in everyday classroom or community activities.
