Low-tech and High-tech adaptions for students with disabilites in math
Student's with disabilities need adaptions in math. Manipulative is an examples of a low-aid adaption. Also, Onion Mountain Technology makes fraction rubber bands, a manipulative number line, laminated addition and multiplication tables, and a special ruler that has multiple transparent overlays to help students understand the relationship between the different units of measure. Large calculators with oversized buttons are useful for students who lack fine motor control. Talking calculators can also be used for students with visual impairments. The coin abacus and coin-u-lator are designed to help teach basic money counting.
The assistive technology looks like it is an easier way to teach young children about money and numbers at a young age. This would be good for students with disabilities as well to see visual what is described by the teacher. This will also allow them to touch the items. I wish I had seen these when I was younger.
